Description: Inanna, Lady of Largest Heart by Betty De Shong Meador, Judy Grahn Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Translations of the oldest written literature to have a known author: the Inanna poems by the Sumerian high priestess Enheduanna. Publisher Description The earliest known author of written literature was a woman named Enheduanna, who lived in ancient Mesopotamia around 2300 BCE. High Priestess to the moon god Nanna, Enheduanna came to venerate the goddess Inanna above all gods in the Sumerian pantheon. The hymns she wrote to Inanna constitute the earliest written portrayal of an ancient goddess. In their celebration of Enheduannas relationship with Inanna, they also represent the first existing account of an individuals consciousness of her inner life. This book provides the complete texts of Enheduannas hymns to Inanna, rendered by the author, who also discusses how the poems reflect Enheduannas own spiritual an psychological liberation from being an obedient daughter in the shadow of her ruler father. The author frames the poems with background information on the religious and cultural systems of ancient Mesopotamia and the known facts of Enheduannas life. With this information, she explores the role of Inanna as the archetypal feminine, the first goddess who encompasses both the celestial and the earthly and shows forth the full scope of womens potential.
