Additional quotes by Enheduanna

She stirs confusion and chaos against those who are disobedient to her, speeding carnage and inciting the devastating flood, clothed in terrifying radiance.

Her wrath is a devastating flood which no one can withstand.
A great watercourse, she abases those whom she despises.
The mistress, a hurin bird who lets no one escape.
Inana, a falcon preying on the gods.

Humbling huge mountains as if they were piles of litter, ... She brings about the destruction of the mountain lands from east to west.
