Those Neo-Assyrian kings who controlled the city of Babylon used a "hybrid" titulary of sorts in the south, combining aspects of the Assyrian and Babylonian tradition, similar to how the traditional Babylonian deities were promoted in the south alongside the Assyrian main deity of [[Ashur (god)|Ashur]].{{sfn|Karlsson|2017|p=1}} The assumption of many traditional southern titles, including the ancient "[[king of Sumer and Akkad]]" and the boastful "[[king of the Universe]]" and "[[king of the Four Corners of the World]]", by the Assyrian kings served to legitimize their rule and assert their control over Babylon and [[lower Mesopotamia]].{{sfn|Soares|2017|p=21}} Epithets like "chosen by the god [[Marduk]] and the goddess [[Sarpanit]]" and "favourite of the god Ashur and the goddess [[Mullissu]]", both assumed by Esarhaddon, illustrate that he was both Assyrian (Ashur and Mullissu, the main pair of Assyrian deities) and a legitimate ruler over Babylon (Marduk and Sarpanit, the main pair of Babylonian deities).{{sfn|Soares|2017|p=28}} |
