Lisin
Lisin was a
Mesopotamian deity initially regarded as a goddess and addressed as ''ama'', "mother," who later came to be regarded as a god and developed an association with fire. The name was also applied to a star associated with
Nabu, presumed to correspond to
Antares. Lisin's spouse was
Ninsikila, whose gender also changed between periods. It was believed that they had eight children. The initial cult center of Lisin is uncertain, with locations such as
Abu Salabikh,
Adab and
Kesh being often proposed. She is attested in texts from various cities, including
Umma,
Lagash,
Nippur and
Meturan. Only a single literary text focused on Lisin is known, a lament in which she mourns the death of one of her sons, for which she blames her mother
Ninhursag. Both female and male version of Lisin also appears in other similar texts.
