While there are references to Lakhmu and Lakhamu in the religious texts, particularly in incantations, these two deities play no part whatsoever in the active pantheon, as revealed by the historical texts. In popular tradition, Lakhmu survived as a name of a mythical monster.
The later 'theology' found a solution of the problem by assuming four series of deities represented by Apsu and Tiâmat, by Lakhmu and Lakhamu, by Anshar and Kishar, and by the triad Anu, Bel, and Ea. In a vague way, as we have seen, Apsu and Tiâmat are the progenitors of Lakhmu and Lakhamu.
