-Ishtar spoke to her father, Anu, saying:
-"Father, give me the Bull of Heaven,
-so he can kill Gilgamesh in his dwelling.
-If you do not give me the Bull of Heaven,
-I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld,
-I will smash the door posts, and leave the doors flat down,
-and will let the dead go up to eat the living!
-And the dead will outnumber the living!"
