Inanna
Inanna (/ɪˈnænə/ or /ɪˈnɑːnə/; Cuneiform: 𒀭𒈹 (Old Babylonian) or 
(Neo-Assyrian) DMUŠ3; Sumerian: Inanna; Akkadian: Ištar; Unicode: U+12239) was the Sumerian goddess of love, fertility, and warfare, and goddess of the E-Anna temple at the city of Uruk, her main centre.
Origins
Inanna was the most prominent female deity in ancient Mesopotamia. As early as the Uruk period (ca. 4000–3100 BCE), Inanna was associated with the city of Uruk. The famous Uruk Vase (found in a deposit of cult objects of the Uruk III period) depicts a row of naked men carrying various objects, bowls, vessels, and baskets of farm products, and bringing sheep and goats, to a female figure facing the ruler. This figure was ornately dressed for a divine marriage, and attended by a servant. The female figure holds the symbol of the two twisted reeds of the doorpost, signifying Inanna behind her, while the male figure holds a box and stack of bowls, the later cuneiform sign signifying En, or high priest of the temple. Especially in the Uruk period, the symbol of a ring-headed doorpost is associated with Inanna.

Gilgamesh
by: InannaBlood of men was once spilled, run through the walls of
Uruk
Oppression and rape rests over the throne of King
Gilgamesh
In tyranny, souls are slaughtered during the endless
Hear our pleas, almighty Anu, unleash all your power on
Earth
Out of the clay, Enkidu has risen, shepherd of the
steppe
Dweller of the mountain, your anger will break all the
injustices
Six days and seven nights
The whore gave you knowledge and power
Not a savage anymore
Go to the city, for wolves and lions
Are already dead
Fight was hard, might of titans was shown
The king has lost, but his dreams have spoken
We are marching now to face Humbaba the Destroyer
A sacrifice needed to end with the grief of the empire
The beast defeated, purification fulfilled
Your old life was cleanse
The vengeance of Ishtar
Eternity was granted to the gods, your will is nothing
but dust
“The thorns gave me the breath of life, which I'll
share with my people”
Go back to Uruk, clean your soul and hang your old
armor
All is lost, you must leave this world as a mortal
