| Hymn to Inanna (same as Ishtar) | ||
| 2300 BCE | ||
1. |
My father gave me the heavens, gave me the earth, |
|
2. |
I am Inanna! | |
3. |
Kingship he gave me, | |
4. |
queenship he gave me, | |
5. |
waging of battle he gave me, the attack he gave me, |
|
6. |
the floodstorm he gave me, the hurricane he gave me! |
|
7. |
The heavens he set as a crown on my head, |
|
8. |
the earth he set as sandals on my feet, |
|
9. |
a holy robe he wrapped around my body, |
|
10. |
a holy sceptre he placed in my hand. |
|
11. |
The gods are sparrows -- I am a falcon; |
|
12. |
the Anunnaki trundle along -- I am a splendid wild cow; |
|
13. |
I am father Enlil's splendid wild cow, |
|
14. |
his splendid wild cow leading the way! |
