Inanna is the Sumerian name of a Mesopotamian goddess of love and war; she was known to the Eastern Semitic peoples as [[Ishtar]].
 
The most famous narrative of Inanna is her descent into and return from the underworld, which is ruled by her sister Ereshkigal. Entering the underworld for an unstated reason, she is judged and struck dead by the seven judges of the underworld, after which she is not able to leave. To be able to return, someone must take her place, and the person Inanna chooses is her husband Dumuzid, who did not mourn her death. Eventually it is decided that Dumuzid will spend half the year in the underworld and half the year with Inanna in heaven (during which time Dumuzid's sister Geshtinanna takes his place in the underworld).
 
In the ''Epic of Gilgamesh'', Inanna (referred to as Ishtar) asks the titular [[Gilgamesh]] to become her husband, and when he refuses due to how she treated her previous lovers, she unleashes the Bull of Heaven in Uruk as revenge, which kills many people. Enkidu, Gilgamesh's friend and companion, kills the bull and insults Ishtar, and, as divine punishment, he falls ill and dies, causing Gilgamesh to reflect on his own mortality. In the same epic's flood narrative, after the flood subsides, Ishtar swears to the survivor Utnapishtim that she will not allow Enlil to send another flood.

Inanna's design resembles a bird, probably inspired by the Burney Relief. She has the Star of Ishtar symbol on her belly.
