Mesopotamian Mythology: Difference between revisions

* [[Bottle Fairy]]: Ninkasi, Siris and Siduri, goddesses of beer.

* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Many religious scholars believe that Inanna, due to the difficulty in deciphering the origin of her name, her constantly changing parentage, and the fact that she explicitly had no responsibilities at first, was originally a Proto-Euphratean goddess incorporated into the Sumerian pantheon.

* [[Chickification]]: Can be observed from looking at the oldest Sumerian myths to its later derivatives. One example is Nammu, who went from the sole creator goddess in Sumerian myths to her more well-known Babylonian version Tiamat, a co-creatrix who after the death of her husband became a tyrant who is probably the [[Ur Example]] of [[God Save Us From the Queen]]. Sumerian Ereshkigal was the sole ruler of the underworld, but in later Assyro-Babylonian myths she was subdued by Nergal and forced to cede her power to him. Several other goddesses known to us mainly as [[Shallow Love Interest]]s are also believed to have held more prominent roles in prehistory.

* [[Child Eater]]: Dimme and Dimme-kur (Akhkhazu). Sometimes Lilitu as well.
