The deity name " Oannes " first occurs in texts from the Library of Ashurbanipal ( more than a century after the time of Jonah ) as Uanna or Uan but is assimilated to Adapa, a deity first mentioned on fragments of tablets from the 15th or 14th century B. C.

The legend of Adapa, the first man — a portion of which was found in the record-office of the Egyptian king Akhenaton at Tell-el-Amarna — explains the origin of death.

Adapa is often identified as advisor to the mythical first ( antediluvian ) king of Eridu, Alulim.

( Apkallu, " sage ", comes from Sumerian AB. GAL ( Ab = water, Gal = Great ) a reference to Adapa, the first sage's association with water.

The Epic of Gilgamesh, a masterpiece of ancient Babylonian poetry, was found in the library as was the Enûma Eliš creation story, and myth of Adapa the first man, and stories such as the Poor Man of Nippur.

Enki and later Ea were apparently depicted, sometimes, like Adapa, as a man covered with the skin of a fish, and this representation, as likewise the name of his temple E-apsu, " house of the watery deep ", points decidedly to his original character as a god of the waters ( see Oannes ).

Berossus describes Oannes as having the body of a fish but underneath the figure of a man — a detail that, some Biblical scholars suggest, is not derived from Adapa but is perhaps based on a misinterpretation of images of Jonah emerging from the fish.

The Sumerians claimed that their civilization had been brought, fully formed, to the city of Eridu by their god Enki or by his advisor ( or Abgallu from ab = water, gal = big, lu = man ), Adapa U-an ( the Oannes of Berossus ).

Adapa was a mortal from a godly lineage, a son of Ea ( Enki in Sumerian ), the god of wisdom and of the ancient city of Eridu, who brought the arts of civilization to that city ( from Dilmun, according to some versions ).

Enki, the god of Eridu, or his mortal son Adapa, are said to have brought civilization to Sumer at this point, or just shortly before.

The apkallu in Sumerian mythology were seven legendary culture heros from before the Flood, of human descent, but possessing extraordinary wisdom from the gods, and one of the seven apkallu, Adapa, was therefore called " son of Ea ", despite his human origin.
