Question
Samuel Noah Kramer’s discredited theory connecting this deity to a Greek analog hinges on a poem in which this deity is kidnapped by a boulder-throwing monster and pursued by a water god in a boat. This deity’s first spouse, whose name means “inspector of canals,” is mentioned in a lie told to the gatekeeper Bitu. In a poem from the Sultantepe tablet, this deity agrees to marry a spouse after being dragged from a throne and threatened with an ax, despite earlier having had sex with that attacker for six days straight. This deity presided over a ceremony in which seven Annunaki gave a “look of death” to another deity whose corpse is then hung from a stake. Either this goddess or her younger sister who disrobes upon entering the seven gates to her realm is depicted on the “Queen of the Night” relief. For 10 points, name this wife of Nergal, sister of Inanna, and Sumerian goddess of the underworld. ■END■
