Génesis de Eridu
Epopeya sumeria de la creación.

Relata los orígenes del mundo y la humanidad, la fundación de las ciudades y la gran inundación enviada por los dioses para destruir a la humanidad. Prevenido por el dios Ea, un hombre llamado Ziusudra, conocido por su humildad y obediencia, construyó una enorme embarcación en la que capeó la inundación. Como recompensa por su vida ejemplar, los dioses le concedieron más tarde la inmortalidad.
