[@RomanAria], you are indeed correct!  I'm out of Latin for two years, and my memory goes to pot.  And nothing like having to get to the end of the sentence to find out what the subject is!  And thanks for the welcome!  :-)

[@RIGHTEOUSwench],I highly recommend "Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth," which was a collaboration between the wonderful storyteller Diane Wolkstein, and Assyriologist Samuel Noah Kraemer.  Yeah, there's a little bit of modern bending, but it gets the tales across.  Reading the actual translations from tablets can be just eyeball-gouging because their style of telling a story, their structure, is a bit different from our own; it's a bit like Tolkein gone hyper myth and without cultural references.
