Ishtar

The cult of Inanna / Ishtar, which may have been associated with a variety of sexual rites, was continued by the East Semitic-speaking peoples (Akkadians, Assyrians and Babylonians) who succeeded and absorbed the Sumerians in the region.

She is also associated with beauty, sex, divine law, and political power.

She was known by the Akkadian Empire, Babylonians, and Assyrians as Ishtar^[b]

Her primary title was "the Queen of Heaven", and she was the patron goddess of the Eanna temple at the city of Uruk, which was her early main cult center.
