IN THE SUMERIAN MYTH OF "ENLIL "AND "NINLIL", THE YOUNG GODDESS "NINLIL "IS BATHING IN THE PURE STREAM "NUNBIRDU". THE GOD OF THE AIR, "ENLIL", SEES "NINLIL "AND, UNABLE TO RESIST HER GREAT BEAUTY, RAPES HER. FOR THIS ACT, HE IS BANISHED BY THE GODS TO THE "UNDERWORLD "AS PUNISHMENT. " NINLIL", HOWEVER, REALIZING THAT SHE LOVED" ENLIL" IN RETURN, FOLLOWED HIM INTO THE DARK WORLD. AND, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT THEIR CHILD, THE "MOON," TO BE TRAPPED IN DARKNESS, THE COUPLE PROMISED THAT THEY WOULD LEAVE THEIR FUTURE CHILDREN IN THE UNDERWORLD IN HIS PLACE. AND, THIS IS WHY "NANNA "WAS BORN IN THE UPPER WORLD WHERE HE CONTINUES TO LIGHT UP THE NIGHT.
