In seeking Life Samasu found and married the female Salamu and by her had Eseru (the first King and symbol of 'how things should be') and also Tahazu (the rebelious one) Gamaru became jealous of his brother and this lead to hatred and revenge wherein Gamaru attempted to corrupt the wild and rebelious Tahazu. These two attacked and attempted to kill the Sun but were stopped by the efforts of Eseru who seperated Day (Samsu) and Night (Gamaru). He also chastised Tahazu making him realise his folly In shame Tahazu fled and attempted to hide his face from the Sun. It was here that Tahazu met with Simtu ([I]ie his fate[/I]) and accepts 'his fate' as his bride . In the darkness Tahazu and Simtu give birth to Daku (a reminder of his attempt to kill his father) and Nur-sin (the newly risen moon as a symbol of hope).
