Inanna

Inanna was the Sumerian goddess of love, beauty, sex, desire, fertility, war, combat, and political power, equivalent to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar. She was also the patron goddess of the Eanna temple at the city of Uruk, which was her main cult center. She was associated with the planet Venus and her most prominent symbols included the lion and the eight-pointed star.
Inanna was one of the most widely adored and venerated deities in the ancient Sumerian pantheon, appearing in nearly every story that they told. She was believed to have stolen the mes,, which represented all positive and negative aspects of civilization, from Enki, the god of wisdom. She was also believed to have taken over the Eanna temple from An, the god of the sky, thereby becoming the Queen of Heaven. Inanna, however, was not always portrayed positively; she also had a fierce temper. She was believed to have destroyed the rebellious kur (country) of Ebih, who refused to acknowledge her superiority and to have unleashed mass chaos upon the world after being raped in her sleep by the gardener Shukaletuda.
Her most famous myth, however, is the story of her descent into and return from Kur, the ancient Sumerian underworld, a myth in which she attempts to conquer the domain of her sister Ereshkigal, the queen of the Underworld, but is instead deemed guilty of hubris (personality quality of extreme or foolish pride or dangerous overconfidence) by the seven judges of the Underworld and struck dead, before being brought back to life three days later through the intervention of the god Enki. Her husband Dumuzid is dragged down to the Underworld by the galla, the guardians of the Underworld, as her replacement, but is eventually permitted to return to heaven for half the year while his sister Geshtinanna remains in the Underworld for the other half, resulting in the cycle of the seasons.
