I'm so happy to get these translations. I'm going to print out all of them and keep them near me on my desk because I'm reading a great study of Enheduanna at the moment, titled Princess, Priestess, Poet by Betty De Shong Meador, and I'd totally recommend it to any reader interested in Enheduanna and her work - especially the Sumerian Temple Hymns.

Thanks for these, Mike. It's a rare gift we take too much for granted - to turn on a laptop and have instant access to stunning modern translations of works from 2300 BCE.

I’ve been reading and rereading lady of the largest heart by the same Betty de Shong Meador. I discovered Inanna by happy chance learnt about her through the writings of Enheduanna. The book and the writings have had and continue to have a considerable influence on me.
