Packet 1: Tossup 16

This figure teaches a non-sapient raven to maintain a garden using counterweight blocks, and then appeases a wrathful goddess by locating the rapist who ruined the garden. That goddess repeatedly asks this figure “where are my functions?” at the end of a text titled for this figure “and the world order.” (15[1])This (-5[1])figure wins a contest by assigning societal roles to (15[1])disabled, infertile, and (15[1])genital-less people created by Ninmah. While drunk, (15[3])this figure gives away heroism, deceit, various crafts, and other mes (“maze”) of civilization (15[1])to a goddess who flees on the Boat of (*) Heaven, taking power (-5[1])from Eridu to her city. This figure creates (-5[1])genderless beings (-5[1])from his fingernail dirt (10[1])to rescue that goddess after she is stripped at the seven gates (-5[1])of (10[1])Ereshkigal’s (-5[1])underworld. (-5[2])For 10 points, (-5[2])name this Sumerian god (-5[1])of (-5[1])water (10[1])and (-5[1])wisdom. ■END■ (10[11]0[23])
