We look at Babylonian, Akkadian and Sumerian goddesses of love, war, and the underworld, with a particular look at the ancient story of the Descent of Inanna.
Well-presented and informative handling of a story that has intrigued me for a long while - and the importance of the points you make about both the Mesopotamian context and the nature of myth itself (e.g., complex, non-dualistic ‘archetypal’ characters) cannot be overstated.
Great job, and say “interestingly” as often as you want!
