Then Ea from his secret dwelling called [The perfect one] of Anshar (?), father of the great gods, Whose heart is perfect like a fellow citizen or countryman (?), The mighty heir who was to be his father's champion, Who rushes (fearlessly) into battle : Marduk the Hero ! He told him his innermost design, saying, ‘O Marduk, take my advice, listen to your father ! You are the son who sets his heart at rest ! Approach Anshar, drawing near to him, And make your voice heard, stand your ground: he will be calmed by the sight of you.'
