Tiamat Mother Goddess of Creation

Reading the Tiamat myth is very interesting. Tiamat was indeed a warrior and fighter, but as being creator of the universe, she could have made some err decisions. She is a beautiful Goddess and is connected to the snake and the dragon. There are also in my opinion inconsistencies in this myth of Tiamat and Marduk, in that it  shows the conflict between men and women in a story of wars over land, power, and control. It is a serious battle of matriarchal and upcoming patriarchal forces, involving a family feud by the male gods determined take power, no matter what the sacrifice is.
