Sumerian god of wind and storm. Along with the heavenly god An and the water god Ea, he was considered to be one of the supreme gods and ruler of the earth. Later, during the Akkadian period (c. 2350-c. 2150 BC), when the Sumerian religious system was adopted by the Semites, Enlil came to be called simply "Bel", meaning "Lord", but he was widely revered throughout Mesopotamia until the Babylonian god Marduk gained dominance. His center was Ekur (meaning mountain dwelling) in Nippur in southern Mesopotamia, and his contrapositive was Ninlil (Nin indicates that he was a goddess) or Ninhursag (meaning mountain goddess).

シュメールの風と嵐(あらし)の神。天神アン、水神エアとともに最高神に属し、大地を支配するものとみなされた。後のアッカド王朝期(前2350ころ~前2150ころ)に、シュメールの宗教体系がセム人に取り入れられると、エンリルは単に「主」を意味する「ベール」の名でよばれるようになったが、その後バビロンのマルドゥク神が優位にたつまで、広くメソポタミア各地で尊崇された。その中心地は南メソポタミアのニップールにあったエクル(山の住まいの意)で、対偶神はニンリル(ニンは女神であることを示す)あるいはニンフルサッグ(山の女神の意)であった。 [矢島文夫] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
