History

The Sebettu (or Isirru in Babylon) were a group of seven gods[1] or divine warriors, including Pazuzu and seemingly Nergal.[2]

Two goals of the Sebettu have been identified so far:

  • They guarded their territories against malevolent entities.[2]
  • They often followed Nergal into battle, spreading famine, drought and pestilence among their enemies to prevent survivors.[1]

Notes

Nergal's status towards the Sebettu is unclear: One account presents them as followed by the Sebettu,[1] while another presents him as part of the group.[2]
