Adad (sh)




Babylonian and Assyrian god of weather, the son of Anu (sometimes called the son of Bel).

He was known as the Lord of Abundance for rains that made the land bloom, but he sent death-dealing storms to his enemies. He was also the god of oracles and divination. Though widely worshiped, he was a minor god and appears to have had no cult center of his own.
