Inanna and Su-kale-tuda

Inanna and Su-kale-tuda (c. 1800 BCE) is a Mesopotamian myth dealing with rape and justice in ancient Sumer. The work has been interpreted as an astral myth or a figurative account of the rise of the southern states against Akkad, but the most direct interpretation of the poem is a condemnation of the crime of rape.
