	The bird Anz(u) — an ancient character of Sumero-Akkadian mythology, depicted on Sumerian seals often as a huge lion-headed eagle with outstretched wings clawing on two Stags or lions. On its mythological meaning and images in glyptics see. [Afanasyeva 2007; MHM 2, 82-83], for textual evidence of various kinds see. [CAD A/2, 153-155; Tallqvist 1938, 485-486; Salonen 1973, 121-123]. According to Wiggermann, Anzu originally represented the "Dark Cloud" (or some other atmospheric phenomenon), and was associated with Enlil and was not perceived as a hostile deity in the 3rd millennium BC [Wiggermann 1992, 152, 159ff.]. The situation changes at the end of the III dynasty of Ur, when his name first appears in the list of gods defeated by Ningirsu/Ninurta [ibid., 161]. Later, Anzu was considered an evil demon defeated first by Ningirsu/Ninurta and then by Marduk (and a number of other gods); his name is given in the lists of gods hostile to man [CAD A/2, 154b, 155b; Tallqvist 138, 14, 486]; astrological predictions associated with him correspond to this understanding (see below). On the probable mythological basis of the "Anzu = Horse" identification, see [CAD A/2, 154b, 155b; Tallqvist 138, 14, 486]. [CAD A/2, 155; Livingstone 1986, 147-148].

	Anzu was originally depicted as a lion-headed eagle. However, later in the epoch of the III dynasty of Ur such images are no longer found, although the name Anzu is mentioned in the texts. According to Wiggermann, in this period the symbol of Anzu becomes a dragon, which had the head, front legs and body of a lion, hind legs, tail and wings of a bird (in Neo-Assyrian versions, the sting of a scorpion replaces the tail) [Wiggermann 1992, 185, 188 fig. 11f and others; Black-Green 1992, 121]. It is not known exactly what image was used as a figure of the constellation <sup>mul d</sup>IM.DUGUD<sup>mušen</sup>. One cannot, however, exclude the possibility that the constellation figure was a horse/winged horse(?), see in this connection [MCG, 35, note 20], as well as images of a horse's head on kudurrus [Seidl 1968, 145; Kurtik 2007, fig. 8].
