In Sumerian Mythology, Antu or Antum, it is believed that it was one of the names that met the goddess Ki, the first consort of An or Anu, but other theories assert that it was the same personage that Nammu, of to be like that would be Enki's mother. Together with An, they created the Anunnaki who were gods or demigods, the Igigi, the lower gods and the Utukki, who were demons of the underworld.
He participated in the creation of humans, molding clay mixed with blood of one of the gods, with Enki, as reported in Akkadian poems such as Enuma Elish and Atrahasis and also in the Sumerian Ziusudra, dating from the time of Ur III. Then, over time, in Acadia and later in Babylon, it was losing importance and replaced in the cult by Ishtar or Inanna, who apparently was his daughter.
