fun fact: although shamash is a sun and light deity, he is also considered an underworld god, and serves the queen of the dead, erishkigal, as a judge in her court.

Shemesh is also the hebrew word for sun.

and shamhurish is the name for a mythical jinn king from pre islamic arabian folklore, who was also a judge.
