Antum is described as the consort of Anu, assigned as a female associate under the theory that every deity must have a female counterpart. The text characterizes her as a purely artificial product—a lifeless symbol that plays even less of a role in the active pantheon than Anu himself.

“A consort Antum (or as some scholars prefer to read, Anatum) is assigned to him, on the theory that every deity must have a female associate, but Antum is a purely artificial product—a lifeless symbol playing even less of a part in what may be called the active pantheon than Anu.”
