The primary gods of Sumerian mythology include Anu, the sky god; Enlil, the god of wind and storms; Enki, the god of water and wisdom; and Inanna, the goddess of love and war. These deities form a fundamental aspect of Sumerian religion, each controlling different aspects of the cosmos and human experience. They governed everything from agriculture to societal norms, reflecting the Sumerians' understanding of the natural world and its relationship with their daily lives. The interactions among these gods laid the foundation for much of subsequent Mesopotamian mythology.
