Bau

Bau In Near Eastern mythology (Babylonian), goddess of abundance and fertility worshipped in Babylon before 2300 b.c.e. In various inscriptions Bau is called the chief daughter of Anu, the god of heaven. Among her titles, the one most frequently given is that of “good lady.” She was the mother who fixed the destinies of men and provided abundance for the tillers of the soil. On the feast of ZagMuk (New Year), bridegrooms offered presents to their prospective brides in honor of Bau.
