'''Babylonian religion''' is the religious practice of [[Babylonia]]. Babylonian mythology was greatly influenced by their [[Sumerian mythology|Sumerian]] counterparts, and was written on clay tablets inscribed with the cuneiform script derived from Sumerian [[cuneiform]]. The myths were usually either written in Sumerian or [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]]. Some Babylonian texts were translations into Akkadian from the [[Sumerian language]] of earlier texts, although the names of some deities were changed in Babylonian texts.
