Ishtar is the first book dedicated to providing an accessible
analysis of the mythology and image of this complex goddess. The
polarity of her nature is reflected in her role as goddess of
sexual love and war, and has made her difficult to characterise in
modern scholarship. By exploring this complexity, Ishtar offers
insight into Mesopotamian culture and thought, and elucidates a
goddess who transcended the limits of gender, divinity and nature.
It gives an accessible introduction to the Near Eastern pantheon,
while also opening a pathway for comparison with the later Near
Eastern and Mediterranean deities who followed her.
