This is the retelling of a Sumerian myth . . . actually, the oldest written story ever discovered. The tales of Inanna, queen of heaven and earth, are sometimes intriguing, sometimes provocative, and often symbolic of life experiences that we can relate to even now, thousands of years after it was written.
