Qingu (, dqin-gu; less commonly romanized as Kingu) was a Mesopotamian god. He is best known from the Enūma Eliš, where he acts as a subordinate and spouse of Tiamat, and an adversary of Marduk. After his defeat he is killed and his blood is used in the creation of mankind. It is presumed that he might have originally been the antagonist of a separate myth unrelated to Tiamat, though this composition does not survive, and the majority of references to him are allusions to his defeat at the hands of Marduk in Enūma Eliš. He is also mentioned in the myth The Defeat of Enutila, Enmešarra, and Qin

Qingu (, dqin-gu; less commonly romanized as Kingu) was a Mesopotamian god. He is best known from the Enūma Eliš, where he acts as a subordinate and spouse of Tiamat, and an adversary of Marduk. After his defeat he is killed and his blood is used in the creation of mankind. It is presumed that he might have originally been the antagonist of a separate myth unrelated to Tiamat, though this composition does not survive, and the majority of references to him are allusions to his defeat at the hands of Marduk in Enūma Eliš. He is also mentioned in the myth The Defeat of Enutila, Enmešarra, and Qingu and in a variety of other texts.
==Name== The most widespread spelling of Qingu's name in cuneiform is dqin-gu, though sporadically dqi-in-gu, dqin-ga and dqin-gi occur as well. A further variant, dqin-gu-gu, is presumed to be a dittographic error. While the romanization Kingu can be sometimes found in modern literature, Qingu is the most commonly used, and is presumed to be more accurate to the original pronunciation.
