Heading mulGIBIL6 (Girra)


The astral manifestation of the Sumero-Akkadian fire-god Girra. In Old Babylonian Prayers to the Gods of the Night, Girra is an independent constellation, most likely double star cluster h and χ Per. [[need proof for this and/or drawing???]]. Later, Girra becomes identified with Mars because of its fiery red-orange color (see Horowitz 2020: 142-143) = 127.  Horowitz W., 2020, “Sky Blue, Red Heavens, and Orange Over Ancient Mesopotamia,’ Journal of Ancient Civilizations 35: 135-146.
