After writing a temple hymn lauding the powers of the Sumerian goddess of writing and grain, the high priestess signed her own name with a flourish: Enheduanna.
describes a real period after Sargon, when someone named Lugal-Ane rebels and takes power in Ur — banishing Enheduanna and possibly committing sexual violence on her, Babcock says. The poem itself describes this situation: Enheduanna flees from a window and asks Inanna to intercede on behalf of Sargon’s dynasty.
The poem finishes with a return of order, Babcock notes. This is a powerful message backing the legitimacy of her nephew’s rule. Inanna is also placated and given credit for destroying the enemy.Yet a number of scholars have cast doubt on whether Enheduanna is really the author of some, or even all, of the poems attributed to her. It’s true that most of the surviving texts of her poems aren’t contemporary with her life. Instead, they are derived from copies made centuries after she lived.
Unfortunately, some of these poems include language that wouldn’t have been used in Enheduanna’s time. Some scholars see this as evidence that Enheduanna herself didn’t actually write them. But Babcock believes these simply represent language that was miscopied or modernized from the original over the years.dates to about a millennium after Ovid lived — and his authorship is not questioned nearly as much.
