Ishtar spoke to her father/Valian is the incipit of a famed section in the Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic Mesopotamian poem, and one of the earliest surviving works of literature. |
- Adapted from an English translation of the Akkadian version, from Tablet VI.
Istar käenama Torminä, Anu, käenamast kee:
"Torm, lahetu tarvas vilyain,
nukkestina Kiilgame, kee saa ëksanä.
laheestilyanatust tarvas vilyain,
üga pakkate Mandoin Süüra
üga haudantest mandotarvasid
üga lantalasse'st mandoin
üga kevatest elennain vastaan vaa tundusin,
üga maganänast!
puuliestinänast elennain lennain!
