is the name of an Assyrian divinity. He represents the classical Hercules, and is spoken of as "the champion who subdues evil spirits and enemies." He is given the form of a huge bull, man-headed and winged. A representation of Nin is now in the British Museum, in the Assyrian transept. (See NIMEOD).
