Kur personifying the home of the dead, [[Hell]], the "river of the dead" (see also [[Styx (mythology)|Styx]]), and the void space between the primeval sea ([[Abzu]]) and the earth ([[Ma (mythology)|Ma]]). Possibly an [[Anunnaki]], brother of [[Ereshkigal]], [[Enki]], and [[Enlil]]. Ereshkigal spoke to Kur when she found him isolated in the Underworld. {{Cquote|I am not afraid of you. Of any of you’ she said out loud, and she meant it. ‘ You are my half brother, Kur, and so are the dark little ones. And somehow I feel there is beauty within you all, even if you and others don’t have eyes to see. But I have. Dive into your Essence, brother, search for the seed that brought you, me and all into being. I also came from that seed. There you will find what unite us, what make us One of a Kind with the One who is All Kinds.}} KUR, as a word, can also refer to a variety of other things. [[Cuneiform]] '''{{transl|Xsux|KUR}}''' {{cuneiform|𒆳}} historically means "mountain" but came to refer to "land" in general and as a determiner is placed before the name of a state or kingdom (see also [[URU]]). The [[Akkadian language|Assyrian]] pronunciation is ''mât''. {{ANE portal}} [[Category:Mesopotamian mythology]] [[Category:Dragons]] [[Category:Sumerian words and phrases|KUR]] {{MEast-myth-stub}} [[de:Kur (Dämon)]] [[es:Kur]] [[it:Kur]] [[mk:Кур (митологија)]] [[nl:Kur]] [[pl:Kur (mitologia)]] [[sv:Kur (mytologi)]] [[tr:Kur (mitoloji)]] [[ja:クル (シュメール神話)]]
