Sin (mythology)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Mesopotamian deity. For the general theological concept, see
Sin.
"Suen" redirects here. For the Chinese surname, see
Suen (surname).
Sin (
/ˈsiːn/) or
Suen (
Akkadian: 𒀭𒂗𒍪,
dEN.ZU[1]) also known as
Nanna (
Sumerian: 𒀭𒋀𒆠
DŠEŠ.KI, DNANNA[2]) was the
Mesopotamian god representing the
moon. While these two names originate in two different languages, respectively
Akkadian and
Sumerian, they were already used interchangeably to refer to one deity in the
Early Dynastic period. They were sometimes combined into the double name
Nanna-Suen. A third well attested name is
Dilimbabbar (𒀭𒀸𒁽𒌓). Additionally, the moon god could be represented by logograms reflecting his lunar character, such as d30 (𒀭𒌍), referring to days in the
lunar month or dU4.SAKAR (𒀭𒌓𒊬), derived from a term referring to the
crescent. In addition to his astral role, Sin was also closely associated with cattle herding. Furthermore, there is some evidence that he could serve as a judge of the dead in the
underworld. A distinct tradition in which he was regarded either as a god of equal status as the usual heads of the
Mesopotamian pantheon,
Enlil and
Anu, or as a
king of the gods in his own right, is also attested, though it only had limited recognition. In
Mesopotamian art, his symbol was the crescent. When depicted anthropomorphically, he typically either wore headwear decorated with it or held a staff topped with it, though on
kudurru the crescent alone served as a representation of him. He was also associated with boats.
The goddess
Ningal was regarded as Sin's wife. Their best attested children are
Inanna (Ishtar) and
Utu (Shamash), though other deities, for example
Ningublaga or
Numushda, could be regarded as members of their family too. Sin was also believed to have an attendant deity (
sukkal),
Alammuš, and various courtiers, such as
Nineigara,
Ninurima and
Nimintabba. He was also associated with other lunar gods, such as
Hurrian Kušuḫ or
Ugaritic Yarikh.
The main cult center of Sin was
Ur. He was already associated with this city in the
Early Dynastic period, and was recognized as its
tutelary deity and divine ruler. His
temple located there was known under the ceremonial name Ekišnugal, and through its history it was rebuilt by multiple Mesopotamian rulers. Ur was also the residence of the
en priestesses of Nanna, the most famous of whom was
Enheduanna. Furthermore, from the
Old Babylonian period onward he was also closely associated with
Harran. The importance of this city as his cult center grew in the first millennium BCE, as reflected in
Neo-Hittite,
Neo-Assyrian and
Neo-Babylonian sources. Sin's temple survived in later periods as well, under
Achaemenid,
Seleucid and
Roman rule. Sin was also worshiped in many other cities in Mesopotamia. Temples dedicated to him existed for example in
Tutub, which early on was considered another of his major cult centers, as well as in
Urum,
Babylon,
Uruk,
Nippur and
Assur. The extent to which beliefs pertaining to him influenced the
Sabians, a religious community who lived in Harran after the
Muslim conquest of the Levant, is disputed.
Names
While it is agreed that the two primary names of the Mesopotamian
moon god, Nanna and Sin (Suen), originated in two different languages, respectively
Sumerian and
Akkadian, it is not possible to differentiate between them as designations of separate deities, as they effectively fully merged at an early date.
[3] Gebhard J. Selz [
de] points out this phenomenon is already attested in sources from
Lagash from the
Early Dynastic period, where the name Nanna does not appear, and Sin is the form used in both Sumerian and Akkadian context.
[4] The process of conflation presumably started prior to the invention of
cuneiform.
[5] Sometimes the double name Nanna-Suen was used,
[6] as evidenced for example by a short theological text from the
Ur III period listing the main deities of the official
pantheon.
[7] It is sometimes used to refer to this god in modern
Assyriological publications too.
