Aside from being a fertility god and god of thunderstorms, Marduk's original character is obscure. Later he became connected with water, vegetation, judgment, and magic. He is normally referred to as Bel "Lord", also bel rabim "great lord", bêl bêlim "lord of lords", ab-kal ilâni bêl terêti "leader of the gods", aklu bêl terieti "the wise, lord of oracles", muballit mîte "reviver of the dead", etc....
... I am so sorry to do this to you, but this post has been edited and moved to my new website Pagan Calendar, and can be found here: Marduk's Feast Day ... More about Marduk can also be found on The Powers That Be, here's a direct link to that post: Marduk
