ENUMA ELISH

WHEN ON HIGH THE HEAVEN HAD NOT BEEN NAMED
FIRM GROUND BELOW HAD NOT BEEN NAMED
NOTHING BUT PRIMORDIAL ABSU THEIR BEGETTER
AND MUMMU AND TIAMAT SHE WHO BORE THEM ALL
THEIR WATERS COMMINGLING A SINGLE BODY
NO REEDHUT HAD BEEN MATTED, NO MARSH HAD APPEARED
WHEN NO GODS WHATSOEVER HAD BEEN BROUGHT INTO BEING
UNCALLED BY NAME THEIR DESTINIES UNDETERMINED
THEN IT WAS THAT THE GODS WERE FORMED WITHIN THEM
