User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Highly Recommended
I could not put this book down. It incresed my interest in the goddess Inanna and Sumerian mythology so much I immediately purchased (from amazon.com) Inanna, Lady of Largest Heart : Poems of the Sumerian High Priestess by Betty De Shong Meador.

5 Stars Excellent Ancient Story, Excellent Modern Wisdom
I loved this book because it brings to life a story that is part of all of us and gives valuable insight into the complicated aspects of the contradictions present in all of life. I especially enjoyed the historical explainations, symbolic explainations and the artifacts that transcend time.

5 Stars Inanna, queen of heaven and earth
Excellent book for those who love history,especialy history from the dawn of civilization!If you ever wanted a time machine….here it is!

5 Stars Excellent!
This translation/interpretation from the cuniform tablets gives an excellent feel for the culture from which this mythic cycle emmerged. The detailed information contextualizing the stories that forms the second half of the book is an invaluable resource for understanding the depth and breadth of the these stories.

5 Stars Great book
This book goes back to the "roots" of The Mother Goddess in written literature. A very comprehensive telling of the ancient stories as well as pictures of artifact of that time make this a great buy for anyone interested in the histories and mythologies of The Mother Goddess.
