Ok..i shall start off..
Enki=Vishnu
Enki is the master of the sea and Vishnu sleeps in his snake-bed AadhiShesha(Ancient Snake) in the primordial Sea.Both are part of the Divine trinity in their respective religion.Both are known for their shape shifting abilitles and Vishnu has in his avatars appeared in many forms,as a fish,a tortoise,a boar,a dwarf,as a vengeful warrior,as a Half man half beast(lion faced),as the symbol of marriage fidelity and pureness as Lord Ram and completely opposite as the Casanova of the cosmos in his Krishna form.
Both are known in their worship as extremely smart and crafty dieties.For example once a Demon got a boon from Brahma that he could not be killed by no man or animal or any crafted weapon,neither at day or night,neither indoors or outdoors neither on the ground or in the sky and so on and so forth.After the boon,the demon ravaged indraloka(the heavens) and bhumi(earth) and destroyed many.
In his craftiness,Viishnu took the form of Narasimha,a half man half lion creature,so he was neither a man nor an animal,grabbed the demon and laid him on the entrance of his palace,so it was neither indoors nor outdoors,lifted the demon on his lap so he was neither on the ground on in the sky and tore out his intestines with his claws(not a crafted weapon) at exactly twilight so it was neither day nor night.Now thats what i call craftiness.
