Her wrath is a devastating flood which no one can withstand.
A great watercourse, she abases those whom she despises.
The mistress, a hurin bird who lets no one escape.
Inana, a falcon preying on the gods.

Anger

More quotes by Enheduanna

She stirs confusion and chaos against those who are disobedient to her, speeding carnage and inciting the devastating flood, clothed in terrifying radiance.

Your great deeds are unparallelled, your magnificence is praised! Young woman, Inana, your praise is sweet!

Her great heart performs her bidding.

Humbling huge mountains as if they were piles of litter, ... She brings about the destruction of the mountain lands from east to west.
