Enheduanna

Enheduanna: "hat singular woman the unique one
who speaks hateful words to the wicked
who moves among the bright shining things
who goes against rebel lands
and at twilight makes the firmament beautiful
all on her own [#26; p.170]
-----------------

fit out for battle exuberant beautifully adorned
prepares the seven maces
washes weapons in the blood of battle
throws open the gate of battle
great wise one of heaven Inanna [#40; p.228]"
