Burkert continues by making a linguistic connection to Tethys. Thorkild Jacobsen and Walter Burkert both argue for a connection with the Akkadian word for sea, tâmtu(𒀀𒀊𒁀), following an early form, ti'amtum. Marduk then integrates elements of her body into the heavens and the earth. She is then slain by Enki's son, the storm-god Marduk, but not before she had brought forth the monsters of the Mesopotamian pantheon, including the first dragons, whose bodies she filled with "poison instead of blood". Enraged, she also wars upon her husband's murderers, taking on the form of a massive sea dragon.

In the Enûma Elish, the Babylonian epic of creation, Tiamat bears the first generation of deities her husband, Apsu, correctly assuming that they are planning to kill him and usurp his throne, later makes war upon them and is killed. Some sources identify her with images of a sea serpent or dragon. In the second Chaoskampf Tiamat is considered the monstrous embodiment of primordial chaos. In the first, she is a creator goddess, through a sacred marriage between different waters, peacefully creating the cosmos through successive generations. It is suggested that there are two parts to the Tiamat mythos. She is referred to as a woman and described as "the glistening one". She is the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation. In Mesopotamian religion, Tiamat ( Akkadian: 𒀭𒋾𒊩𒆳 D TI.AMAT or 𒀭𒌓𒌈 D TAM.TUM, Ancient Greek: Θαλάττη, romanized: Thaláttē) is a primordial goddess of the sea, mating with Abzû, the god of the groundwater, to produce younger gods.
