Inanna
is the Sumerian Goddess of the earth and fertility. She descended to the underworld,
passing through seven gates to confront the darkness and her dark sister Eriskegal.
At each gate, piece by piece, she removed an item of her clothing and jewelry
until she was naked. After her descent, she hung for three days and nights until
she was reborn. She has since become known as the Goddess of death and rebirth.
