Upelluri
Hurrian · numen · mythic · Recorded classification
A GIANT WHO CARRIES THE WORLD AND DOES NOT NOTICE A MOUNTAIN GROWING ON HIS SHOULDER, which is the joke the song is built on and the reason he matters. The corpus held Ullikummi and had nowhere to put him. NO CROSS-TRADITION EDGE to any Atlas-figure: the comparison is a scholar's and the record does not make it.
