http://dbpedia.org/ontology/abstract Zagmuk, which literally means "beginning oZagmuk, which literally means "beginning of the year", is a Mesopotamian festival celebrating the New Year. The feast fell in December and lasted about 12 days. It celebrates the triumph of Marduk, the patron deity of Babylon, over the forces of Chaos, symbolized in later times by Tiamat. The battle between Marduk and Chaos lasts 12 days, as does the festival of Zagmuk. In Uruk the festival was associated with the god An, the Sumerian god of the night sky. Both are essentially equivalent in all respects to the Akkadian "Akitu" festival. In some variations, Marduk is slain by Tiamat on the winter solstice and resurrected on the vernal equinox. In Babylon, the battle was acted out at the royal court with the king playing Marduk, and his son-rescuer as Nabu, the god of writing. Once freed from the powers of the underworld, the king would enact the rite of hieros gamos on the 10th day of the ceremony. During this rite, the king (or En, as he was known in Sumer) would perform sexual intercourse with his spouse, normally a high priestess who had been chosen from among the naditum, a special class of priestesses who had taken a vow not of celibacy precisely, but of a refusal to bear children. The high priestess was known as the entu, and her ritual act of intercourse with the king was thought to regenerate the cosmos through a reenactment of the primordial coupling of the cosmic parents An and Ki, who had brought the world into being at the dawn of Time. If an eclipse of the sun fell on any of the 12 days of the ceremony, a substitute for the king was put in his place, since it was thought that any evils which might have befallen the king would accrue to the substitute instead. On the last day of the festival, the king was slain so that he could battle at Marduk's side. To spare their king, Mesopotamians often utilized a mock king, played by a criminal who was anointed as king before the start of Zagmuk, and killed on the last day.art of Zagmuk, and killed on the last day. , Zagmuk (sumerico; anche, sempre in sumericZagmuk (sumerico; anche, sempre in sumerico: A2.KI.TIL3, col significato di "forza che fa rivivere il mondo"; accadico: Akītu), parola che letteralmente significa "inizio anno", era una festività legata alla mitologia mesopotamica celebrata a Capodanno.La festa cadeva in marzo o Aprile e durava circa 12 giorni; essa celebrava il trionfo di Marduk, la divinità protettrice di Babilonia, sulle forze del Caos, simboleggiate da Tiamat. Secondo il racconto mitologico, la battaglia tra Marduk e Caos durò 12 giorni, così come la festa di Zagmuk. A Uruk la celebrazione è stato associata col dio An, il dio sumero del cielo notturno. Entrambi sono sostanzialmente equivalenti, sotto tutti gli aspetti, alla festività accadica di Akītu. In alcune varianti del mito, Marduk fu ucciso da Tiamat e risorse durante l'equinozio di primavera. A Babilonia la battaglia veniva recitata alla corte reale: il re interpretava il ruolo di Marduk e suo figlio quello dell'aiutante Nabu, il dio della scrittura. Una volta liberatosi dalle potenze degli inferi, il re avrebbe svolto il rito del Matrimonio Sacro il 10º giorno della cerimonia. Durante questo rito, il re (o En, come era noto in Sumero) doveva avere un rapporto sessuale con la congiunta, di norma una sacerdotessa che era stata scelta tra le naditum, una classe speciale di sacerdotesse che avevano fatto voto non di celibato, bensì di non avere figli. La sacerdotessa era conosciuta come la entu, e l'atto rituale del rapporto con il re era pensato come rigeneratore del cosmo, attraverso una rievocazione del giunto primordiale dei genitori cosmici An e Ki, che avevano creato il mondo agli albori del Tempo. Se un'eclissi di sole fosse caduta in uno qualsiasi dei 12 giorni di cerimonia, un sostituto del re sarebbe stato messo al suo posto, in quanto si pensava che tutti i mali che avrebbero potuto colpire il re avrebbero invece colpito il sostituto. L'ultimo giorno del festival il re avrebbe dovuto essere ucciso, in modo da poter lottare al fianco di Marduk.Per risparmiare il vero re, in Mesopotamia spesso veniva utilizzato un re fasullo, interpretato da un criminale che era stato unto come re prima dell'inizio della Zagmuk e che veniva ucciso l'ultimo giorno.Oltre all'uccisione di un prigioniero, era tradizione che un prigioniero venisse liberato durante questa cerimonia, per rimanere in equilibrio.sta cerimonia, per rimanere in equilibrio.
