A. Sutherland – AncientPages.com – An interesting – though only fragmentary – Babylonian myth tells the story of Anzu/Zu (‘the wise one’), the bird god, whose home is the underworld.
Anzu is a mythical creature depicted as a gigantic sky being, part human and part bird, with enormous wings. This creature could walk on two legs like a human. Anzu’s wings were said to have the power to generate thunder, whirlwinds, and sandstorms.
Originating from an early Sumerian myth, Anzu was linked to the Sumerian storm demon known as the Anzu bird. In celestial terms, this mythological figure is represented among the stars by the constellations Pegasus and Taurus.
