Answer:

To explain how the heavens, earth, and rivers were created

Explanation:

The passage you were given is the following:

Ea called on Marduk, a great warrior god, saying that if Marduk should be victorious, he would be the lord of all the gods. A great battle ensued, with gods raging against each other. Marduk reached Tiamat, the embodiment of chaos, and smashed her head with his great club. He sliced her in half, making the North Wind bear her pieces away. From each half of her ribs he created the vault of the heavens and the earth. Her weeping eyes became sacred rivers, and Tiamat was no more.

The purpose of this passage is to explain how the heavens, earth, and rivers were created. The lines that prove this are:

  • <em>From each half of her ribs he created the vault of the heavens and the earth. Her weeping eyes became sacred rivers, and Tiamat was no more.</em>

Myths that tell about how the world began and how people first came to inhabit it are called creation (or cosmogonic) myths.
