Abstract
Ishtar/Inanna is the most important Mesopotamian goddess, attested in southern Babylonia from the late 4th millennium BCE until the end of cuneiform culture, and in the wider Near East from the end of the 3rd millennium on. Depending on time, place and context she was associated with sexual love, violence, legitimate kingship, fertility, the underworld, prophecy, and medicine. The cults of Ishtar-like goddesses in the Levant influenced cults of Aphrodite.
