The primordial Sea-Goddess Dragon Mother of Ancient Mesopotamia who gave birth to the original Gods, then her own children overthrew her in a cosmic battle splitting the Heavens from the Earth and became the supreme rulers of the universe after slaying their own mother. She also gave birth to many monsters and demons too

In many ways she reminds me of the Primordial Creation Goddess Gaia as well as the Serpent Woman aka Echidna who birthed all monsters that troubled the gods aswell as mortals, both found in Greek Mythology. Gaia tried to rage a war against her children The Gods too but ultimately lost and went into a deep slumber.

I feel like the moral of these myths is that, just like in the case of these disobediant gods overthrowing their own mothers, we humans are no different having turned our backs on the sea and earth from whence all life came. Now mother earth is pissed off with us and thus we have climate change now.

There's a band named Tiamat.

Cool! She also appears in a lot of roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons and Final Fantasy.

She's as popular in pop culture as Lilith.

Speaking of Tiamat in video games...
