One of the persons in the Izdubar legends, or the Babylonian Nimrod epic, ancestor of Izdubar or Gilgamesh. He is one of the heroes of that poem, and attained immortality and a life with the gods. When Izdubar comes to him and asks him how he obtained this distinction, he relates to him the story of the deluge, which forms a counterpart to the accounts of Berosus and of Genesis. He was living, he relates, in Surripak, an ancient city on the Euphrates (Sippar or Sepharvaim), when Ea, the god of the ocean, apprised him of the decision of the gods to cause a flood, and advised him to build a ship and to save himself, his family, friends, and goods. This he did. When the waters of the food disappeared he left the ship, which rested on a mountain, and offered a sacrifice to the gods. After this he disappeared, and a voice from heaven informed his companions that he had been translated to the gods to live forever as a reward for his piety. He is therefore rightly termed the "Babylonian Noah." In Berosus he is called Xisuthros, and is represented as the last of the first 10 mythical kings of Babylonia.
