Beauty

More quotes by Ishme-Dagan

Nudimmud, lord who determines the fates, who strengthens the Land.

May he bestow a long life with vigorous days on Icme-Dagan, the son of Enlil! May father Enki bestow a long life with vigorous days on Icme-Dagan, the son of Enlil!

Enki, great bull of Eridug, [...] greatly exalted among the Anuna.

His words are precious, and what he says is true. Ninurta, lion raging against the disobedient! Authoritative one, who makes the foreign countries submit.

Enlil, [...] first-born child of holy An, whose divine powers are untouchable

Whose veil is unremoved
Till heart with heart in concord beats,
And the lover is beloved.

The eyes of men without an orator.
