Uras (mythology)

Uraš or Urash, in Sumerian mythology is a goddess of earth, and one of the consorts of the sky god Anu. She is the mother of the goddess Ninsun and a grandmother of the hero Gilgamesh.

However, Uras may only have been another name for Antum, Anu's wife. The name Uras even became applied to Anu himself, and acquired the meaning "heaven".Ninurta also was apparently called Uras in later times.
