Ullikummi

In Hurrian mythology, Ullikummi is a giant stone monster, son of Kumarbi and the sea god's daughter, Sertapsuruhi, or a female cliff. The language of the literary myth in its existing redaction is Hittite, in cuneiform texts recovered at Bogaskoy, where some Hurrian fragments of the Song of Ullikummi have been found. See Guterbock (1951).

The Song of Ullikummi was recognized from its first rediscovery as a predecessor of Greek myths in Hesiod. Parallels to the Greek myth of Typhon, the ancient antagonist of the thunder-god Zeus, have been elucidated by Burkert. The Song possesses information on the Hittite creation myth, including the idea that there was a separation of heaven and earth in the primordial past, before which, the two were united.
