Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today’s video, we’re going to discuss Leviathan, the biblical sea monster, a monster so infamous that his very name has become a byword for sea monsters in general. Depending on the source, it is either a large sea animal, a sea monster, an archdemon, another name for Satan, or a wellspring of power that can be tapped into by those with arcane knowledge or unorthodox religious beliefs.
We’re going to begin with the Book of Job, which is where most of the biblical information about Leviathan comes from. Next, we’ll take a look at how he factors into demonology. Following that we’re going to explore the Enuma Elish, the Babylonian creation myth. It features a monstrous goddess named Tiamat who is thought by some to perhaps be an antecedent that influenced the inclusion of Leviathan in Jewish Scripture and, thus, Christian Scripture.
Let’s get into it.
Most of the Biblical information about Leviathan comes from the Book of Job, from chapter 41. In it, he’s described as a giant sea monster: invincible scales armoring his body, fire erupting from his mouth, and smoke billowing from his nostrils. Mortal weapons are useless against him, and such is his strength that to him steel is like straw and brass like rotten wood. To see him is to have the frozen fist of fear grasp one’s heart, and not even the bravest can stand before him.
