of Susa). In the god list An = Anum all of them appear in sequence, following Ereshkigal, which according to Wiggermann indicates they were regarded as underworld deities. Character and iconography An inscription of king Dadusha of Eshnunna indicates that Tishpak was regarded as one of the major gods in this city's sphere of influence, as he occurs right after Anu, Enlil, Sin and Shamash, and before Adad. His character was similar to Ninazu's. He was a war god, described as "the warrior of the gods" (ursag ili). The incantation series Šurpu highlights this feature, calling him "lord of the troops" and placing him in a sequence with Ningirsu and Zababa, who were both regarded as warlike deities. An Akkadian text from Eshnunna additionally characterizes him as "steward of the sea" (abarak ti'āmtim) and "fierce hero" (qurādum ezzum). Tishpak's attributes overlapped with these of Ninazu and included two maces and various snakes and serpentine monsters, especially the dragon mushussu. A year name from Eshnunna additionally indicates a bronze plough was one of the sacred objects held in his main temple. In the poorly preserved Labbu myth Tishpak's divine weapon is a seal, and he is described as capable of causing storms. It does not necessarily indicate he was a weather god, as Ninurta and Marduk, who had no such a role, also use atmospheric phenomena as weapons in myths. Such an interpretation was suggested in older studies, but is no longer accepted today. Tishpak's name was represented logographically with the sign MUŠ, which could also designate other deities, for example Inshushinak. On cylinder seals Tishpak could be depicted riding on a mushussu. References to visual representations of him "treading on a dragon" are also known from Mesopotamian texts. Additionally, while Mesopotamians generally imagined the gods as fully anthropomorphic, he was on occasion described as green in color, possibly indicating he was assumed to have snake-like skin. A scaled god occurs on seals from Eshnunna, but according to Frans Wiggermann he might be Ninazu rather than Tishpak. As noted by Theodore J. Lewis, art from Eshnunna, likely to depict Tishpak and monsters associated with him, is often incorrectly labeled as Canaanite even in professional publication, "bypassing any reference to Tishpak." Associations with other deities Tishpak's wife was the goddess Kulla, known as the "Queen of Eshnunna." Much like in the case of her husband, the origin of her name is uncertain
