Editing Sin (mythology) (section)

====Uruk====
In [[Uruk]] the worship of Sin is first documented in the Old Babylonian period, with an offering list using his Sumerian name and an administrative text the Akkadian one.{{sfn|Beaulieu|2003|pp=271-272}} His temple in this city was known under the ceremonial name Edumununna, "house of the son of the prince".{{sfn|George|1993|p=80}} In the Neo-Babylonian period he was most likely worshiped in this city in a small chapel, so-called ''ekurrātu''.{{sfn|Beaulieu|2003|p=73}} Three manifestations of him received offerings, with Sin "of the courtyard" (''ša kisalli'') and "of heaven" (''ša šamê'') attested in addition to the standard form of this god.{{sfn|Beaulieu|2003|p=272}} However, the significance of these two more specific manifestations was minor.{{sfn|Beaulieu|2003|p=369}} In three cases, Sin and "Sin of heaven" appear in the same texts as two distinct deities.{{sfn|Beaulieu|2003|p=346}}

A reference to a sanctuary of Sin occurs in a text from the reign of [[Darius the Great]] as well.{{sfn|Beaulieu|2003|p=273}} He also continued to be venerated in Uruk in the Seleucid period, as indicated by references to him in both ritual and legal texts, as well as attested theophoric names invoking him.{{sfn|Krul|2018|p=72}} He might have been one of the deities worshiped in the Bīt Rēš,{{sfn|Krul|2018|p=67}} "head temple," a new temple complex dedicated to [[Anu]] and [[Antu (goddess)|Antu]] which was built in this period.{{sfn|George|1993|p=137}} According to Julia Krul, it can be assumed that his presence in the local pantheon of Uruk was also the reason behind the introduction of [[Ningal]] and [[Ningublaga]] to the city documented in late sources.{{sfn|Krul|2018|p=75}}
