Enki or Ea is the Sumerian god of water and knowledge. He was either the son or brother of the sky god Anu. His Greek name was Aos.[1] Enki was said to have created the Tigris and Euphrates rivers by masturbating.

The planet Mercury was thought to be Enki,[2] but Enki was also shown as a constellation of a man pouring water. He was also associated with the goat-fish, a mythological creature with the head of a goat but the body of a fish. Enki became the Western zodiac sign of Aquarius, while his goat-fish became the sign of Capricorn (Capricornus).[3]
