Abstract :
Water has always played an important and decisive role in the formation of the human civilizations, including the Elamite civilization. Since the early human had defined god symbols for every phenomenon important to him, he also defined the gods of water in all civilizations. It is also known that in the Elamite civilization, since its earliest civilization, water gods and their creatures have always had a special place, including creatures. Those who were associated with the gods of water and the creatures of the gods Ea/Enki waters' deities have been seen among the Elamite motifs and works since ancient Elam. Of course, given the limited resources available to Elamite civilization, as well as the interplay between the two Elamite and Mesopotamian civilizations, and the greater diversity of interpersonal resources, the role, and status of fish-women should be examined in light of their background in Mesopotamian civilization. This is not, of course, due to the complete conformity of these concepts in these two civilizations, but, due to the lack of Elamite resources in this respect, the closest concepts to Elamite concepts can be found among the sources available among the interpersonal concepts. This article is based on the library study method on the existing evidence and it seeks to study the role of the fish-women in the Elam civilization.
