Encyclopedia entry

Stand! I and thou, let us join battle!
When Tiamat heard these words,
She was like one posessed, she lost her reason.
Tiamat uttered wild, piercing cries,
She trembled and shook to her very foundations.
She recited an incantation, she pronounced her spell,
And the gods of the battle cried out for their weapons.
Then advanced Tiamat and Marduk, the counselor of the gods;
To the fight they came on, to the battle they drew nigh.
[ Enuma Elish, trans. L.W. King ]
