	Damu — deity of health, with the ability to drive away demons and heal diseases. Worshiped in Isin, and also in Larsa and Ur. Believed to be the son of the healer goddess Ninisina (Lady of Isin), who passed on to him the ability to heal. In some Akkadian texts, including astronomical texts (see above) he is considered a goddess and is identified with Gula.
