Inanna is the Sumerian name of a Mesopotamian goddess of love and war who is associated with the planet Venus; she was known to the East 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. Gilgamesh and his friend and companion Enkidu kill the bull, and Enkidu insults Ishtar. Enkidu then falls ill and dies after several days, causing Gilgamesh to reflect on his own mortality.<ref>{{Cite Book|book=The Epic of Gilgamesh|page=pp. 46-66|transl=Benjamin R. Foster|publisher=W.

Origin

Inanna is the Sumerian name of a Mesopotamian goddess of love and war who is associated with the planet Venus; she was known to the East 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. Gilgamesh and his friend and companion Enkidu kill the bull, and Enkidu insults Ishtar. Enkidu then falls ill and dies after several days, causing Gilgamesh to reflect on his own mortality.[1] During the flood narrative, it is stated that Ishtar "screams like a woman in childbirth",[2] though this is likely use of her name a common noun meaning "goddess", referring to the mother goddess Belet-ili who is mentioned directly after.[3]
