Editing Dagon (section)

==== Mythology ====
In the Mesopotamian god list, ''An = Anum'', Dagan was placed in the circle of Enlil; this is similar to another western deity, Ishara.{{sfn|Feliu|2003|p=54}} The same document equates him with Enlil and his wife Shalash with [[Ninlil]].{{sfn|Archi|2015|p=634}}

There is some evidence that in Mesopotamia Dagan was connected with the poorly known tradition about conflict between the gods and [[Enmesharra]], for example a passage stating that "with Dagan's authority [gods] have been guarding Enmešarra from time immemorial" is known; Dagan might however be a synonym of Enlil rather than a distinct deity in this context according to [[Wilfred G. Lambert]].{{sfn|Lambert|2013|p=286}}

The fragmentary myth ''Uraš and [[Marduk]]'' (here the [[Urash (god)|male god]] from [[Dilbat]], not the [[Urash|earth goddess]]) mentions Dagan, similarly most likely fully equated in this context with Enlil.{{sfn|Lambert|2013|p=311}}

A legendary king of [[Purushanda]] who serves as an opponent of Sargon of Akkad in the epic [[King of Battle]] bears the name Nūr-Dagan.{{sfn|Lambert|2013|p=232}}
