the "Hymm's of Innana" are more than a bit interesting, as it shows(clearly) that Innana was the original riot girl goddess who gets whatever she wants...daddy made the universe and none of the "rules" apply to her, well except, that she does get pensive when her latest boy toy wanders.
Not that suddenly catesrophic things dont then happen to said boy, previously praised for bieng "like a young bull".
Especialy interesting are the number of occasions where she breaks into songs of praise for her "galla".........
quite clear that the tavern culture of the times was much like our own
