Profile

Origin

Ishtar is a Mesopotamian goddess of love, war, and fertility. While she was originally a separate goddess worshiped by the Eastern Semitic peoples, around the time of the reign of Sargon of Akkad she would be identified with the Sumerian goddess Inanna, and the traditions blended together.

The Northwestern Semitic cognate of Ishtar's name is Ashtart, who shares a similar role to Ishtar.
