Text
Anzu Epic 1.153-158:
The gods fell quiet and despaired of counsel, the Igigi sat there fuming and flustered. The master of intelligence who dwells in the Apsu, the shrewd one, formed an idea in his wise belly … What he had formulated in his belly he spoke to Anu.

Hesiod, Theogony 167-169:
So she spoke; but they were all seized by fear, and none of them uttered a word. But taking courage, the great crooked-schemer Kronos soon replied to his good mother.
