Assur
Asshur (or Assur) was the main god of the Assyrians. In fact, they took their name from him.
He was a warlike god, but he also took care of fertility and growth for his believers. The tree of
life was his symbol, because it was believed he gave life to all things on earth. Another symbol
that was often used to represent him was the winged circle.
