Zarpanitu
Zarpanitu was a Babylonian goddess, the consort of Marduk, the chief god of Babylon. Her statue stood with his in the Esagila temple. The Hittite king Mursili I, sacking Babylon, carried off the statues of Marduk and Zarpanitu, a raid that fatally destabilised the First Babylonian dynasty.
