In the myths

In the Babylonian creation epic, the Enuma Elish, Tiamat is the salt sea, who with Apsu, the fresh water, gave birth to the first gods. When the god Ea killed Apsu, she raised an army of monsters and put the god Kingu at its head.

The god Marduk met her in battle, drove a wind into her open mouth and shot her through with an arrow. From her split body he made the sky and the earth.
