I blame that notion on many of her followers than of the goddess herself. Perhaps the whole deal with the sacred prostitution practiced in her temples along the Nile had something to do with the way Innana is perceived at times.


My issues with her have more to do with her temper tantrums and the way she treats her lovers. And, despite being the goddess of war, she had to rely on Ninshubur for protection from Enki.

It's important to note that temper tantrums were something common in many goddesses. And gods, for that matter. When Zeus got into a temper, the stories say he would start throwing lightning bolts.

In any case, I do agree that Innana had a tendency to lean too much on Ninshubur.

Yeah, but Zeus never threatened to tear down the gates of the underworld if he didn't get his way right now! :p And, so far as I know, he didn't make a habit of cursing lovers when he got bored of them.

He did, however, make a habit of impregnating women with half-god-half-man children in increasingly zany, over-the-top, and ridiculous ways. He was a Rube Goldberg machine of divine sex.
