Marduk is the son of Ea and Dumkina.  He supplants the other Babylonian deities to become the central figure of their pantheon.  He is a "King of the Igigi."  He often works with and asks questions of his father.  He has fifty names many of which are those of other deities whose attributes he usurped.  He was of proud form and piercing stare, born mature, powerful, and perfect and superior.  He has four eyes, four ears, and emits fire from his mouth when he speaks.  He is also gifted in magic.
