Zongman: I Travel Through Countless Worlds At The Same Time

689. Ishtar Goes To Hell

Of course, Higashino Yu did not include the ancient countries in the East when he talked about this issue.

That side is not under the control of Sumerian mythology.

At this time, the Sumerian civilization had entered the city-state era in Mesopotamia, an ancient civilization that arose on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

As the patron saint of the city of Uruk, the capital of the Sumerian dynasty, it was the god who was praised by Uruk as the god of war, the god of fertility and the god of love.

———Ishtar.

It's just that in this era, people serve God, so in Uruk [whether it is her enemies or the masses under her shelter, the first thing they do when they hear this name is rubbish.

Because this goddess is not a good-tempered guy, it is better to say that she is a problem child who relies on her father's favor, so she acts recklessly everywhere.

That's why the Uruk people have always maintained a love-hate attitude towards their patron saint.

But this kind of thing is not important to Ishtar, anyway, even if they have a headache behind their backs, they have to obediently say good things about themselves in front of her, and she just needs to do this.

But that was only in the past.

As for 977 now, Ishtar has not wandered over Uruk for several days. People looking at her temple are thinking about whether there is something wrong with their goddess, such as being rented by her father god. insulted?

As for other reasons, they never thought about it at all. After all, in the eyes of human beings, it is impossible for other things to stop Ishtar.

I can't eat my own goddess and ruin my stomach. If that is the case, I am afraid that there will be no ashes left in the tribute. At least they have not heard similar news now.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for them to guess that the lawless goddess in their cognition is now hiding in their own temple, pulling their own witch with an aggrieved expression, and saying something angrily.

Occasionally when I get excited, I will hold my maiden and cry loudly, or shake my fist vigorously as if saying something cruel.

Looking at the helpless and dumbfounding expression on the witch's face, I don't need to think about it, but I know that this lawless goddess must have suffered some grievances but has no way to retaliate.

So I can only hide in the room (dbab) and talk to my little witch.

"That guy Ai Lei is an idiot, let that guy wait, one day I will pay back all the humiliation I have suffered, even if she kneels in front of me at that time, I will not forgive her!"

"At that time, I will let her suffer twice, not three times, my humiliation, and then I will consider whether to forgive her.

"But that guy doesn't have as many artifacts as I do, maybe he fell down before going through it a few times hahahaha, then I must mock her well, Siduri, what do you think I'm going to dress up then? Is it a lion, or a sheep? Or a reed-post?"

"this.…………"

The head of Uruk's priests, Siduri who was in charge of serving Ishtar, opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer this topic.

By the way, just now, whether it is a lion, a sheep, or a reed column, they are all symbols representing Ishtar.

The reed column is one of the symbols of the early goddess Inanna.

The sheep symbolizes the aspect of Inanna, the goddess of fertility, while the lioness symbolizes the aspect of Inanna, the goddess of war.

"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."

After pondering for two seconds, Siduri still persuaded Ishtar, and she couldn't do without persuasion, because this was exactly her job.

"Misunderstand!"

However, after hearing her voice, Ishtar's voice suddenly rose.

"How could it be a misunderstanding! That guy has made things difficult for me seven times! If I said once was a misunderstanding and twice, I would have admitted it, but for seven times, if it weren't for the many artifacts on my body, maybe this time it would be a mistake." Planted in the underworld and can’t come back! Could this also be called a misunderstanding?”

"Ishtar Goes to the Underworld" This is a very famous chapter in Sumerian mythology.

According to the legend, when Ishtar entered the first gate, he was deprived of the crown by Queen Elishkigal according to ancient rules, the ear ornaments were taken away at the second gate, and the third gate was taken away. necklace around the neck. The fourth door took the pectoral, the fifth door took the jade belt, the sixth path took the bracelet and anklet, and the seventh door took her lingerie.

And according to the poem, when she was in the underworld, the bull could not impregnate the cow, and many other things happened at the same time. It can be said that the whole society was in chaos at the same time.

Of course, there must be traces of processing in the poem. In fact, this time Ishtar went to the underworld to have a good relationship with Erishkigal.

However, what Ishtar didn't expect was that this time she was not only deprived of all the artifacts, but in the end she didn't see Erishkigal himself, only a big skeleton.

Without even seeing Erishkigal's face, the two had a quarrel, and soon a fight broke out.

Losing the artifact and being in the underworld again, Ishtar was almost suppressed by Erishkigal in all directions.

So in the end, if Ishtar didn't run fast, maybe she would be locked in the palace like the poem "Ishtar Goes to Hell".

That's why she said just now that she wanted to make Elishkigal return several times, and she also had to play another appearance to meet her.

"Seven times! That's a lot."

Hearing Ishtar's complaint, Siduri couldn't help but nodded.

"Let me just say it! Even Siduri thinks so, obviously that guy is wrong!"

Hearing Siduri's words, Ishtar seemed to have found someone to support her, and her whole body became excited all of a sudden.

However.

"No, I didn't say that."

Siduri shook her head.

You must know that this is not the first time she has heard Ishtar's complaints. From the shock at the beginning to the numbness now, she has become accustomed to Ishtar's words

In other words, in fact, she just praised Ishtar properly when she should appear.

Of course, I still feel empathy for the injustice of my own god.

But she also understands that as a mortal, she is not qualified to comment on the gods.

And relying on her own understanding of Ishtar, she can be sure that Ishtar never said everything.
