I will now return to my doubt as to Ana. For although I feel tolerably certain that Ana in his human attributes represents one or other of the antediluvian patriarchs, it may well be that he is only a reduplication of Enu = Enoch. If we are to seek in the translation of Enoch the clue to the origin of the deification of man, and its commencement in the person of Nimrod (_vide supra_, p. 160), it is likely, in the legend of the apotheosis of Nimrod, that all the analogies should have been sought for in the striking historical event which was in tradition. There is, moreover, the analogy of name with Annacus, Hannachus = Enoch.[153] If he is Enoch, he naturally also falls into his place as second to Assorus. [153] "Etienne de Byzance dit qu'à 'Icone' ('de urbibus' voce 'Iconium') ville de Lycaonie près du Mont Taurus dans les régions occupées par les habitants antediluviens regnait Annacus dont la vie alla au-déla de trois cents ans. Tous les habitants d'alentour demandèrent à un oracle jusqu'à quelle époque se prolongerait sa vie. L'oracle répondit que ce patriarche étant mort, tout le monde devait s'attendre à périr. Les Phrygiens à cette ménace jetèrent les hauts cris, d'où est venu le proverbe: 'Pleurer sous Annacus, ce que l'on dit de ceux qui se livrent à des grands gémissements. Or le Déluge étant survénu tous périrent.... Dans ces récits tout est conformé à la Bible. Annacus a vécu trois cents ans avant le Déluge. Il a averti ses concitoyens: il est entouré du même respect que le patriarche Noë lui-même. Annacus parait venir d'Enoch; tout announce une identité de personnages." (Gainet, Hist. de L'Anc. et Nouv. Test. i. 94, 95.) The connection between the death of Enoch and the destruction of mankind may accord as well with the traditional belief in his reappearance at the end of the world. Compare the Grecian tradition of Inachus, son of Oceanus (_vide_ Bryant, ii. 268), and with it, Hor., Od. 3, lib. ii.: "Divesne, prisco et natus ab Inacho, Nil interest, an pauper, et infimâ De gente," &c. I retain, however, my original opinion, that Ana is Adam (though possibly with some confusion with Enoch), in addition to the arguments already urged, upon the following grounds:-- Rawlinson mentions (i. 147) "Telane," or the "_Mound_ of Ana," distinct from Kalneh or "Kalana." We know that there has been a constant tradition that the bones of Adam were preserved in the ark, and this name of the "Mound of Ana" may be connected with it. If so, it will also account for Ana (Dis = Orcus) being the patron deity of Erech, "the great city of the dead, the necropolis of Lower Babylonia" (Rawlinson i. 146). The son of Ana is Vul. If Vul could be identified with Vulcan, and Vulcan with Tubalcain, it would go far to decide the point that Ana was Adam.
