The
Descent of Innana
This ancient Sumerian myth
was written on stone tablets in approximately 1750
BC and was probably part of an oral liturgy for
at least a thousand years before that.
Innana, Queen of the Great
Above hears the moaning of her sister Erishkagal
, Queen of the Great Below.
With great courage Innana descends into the underworld
passing through the seven gates guarding that domain.
