qos"The ways of the underworld are perfect," Ereshkigal whispered.
"Oh, rotting meat, do not question the ways of the underworld."
That's as far as I've gotten with my re-write of The Descent of Inanna: Inanna is dead and hanging on the wall of the throne room. Now comes the hard part: the three days of silence, Ereshkigal's "labor", the kurgarra and the galatur, and how She reacts to the resurrection of Inanna.
In the original, Ereshkigal does not appear again after she gives her comforters the rotting meat that is Inanna's corpse. I need to spend some time with Her to try to gain more insight into what She experienced once Inanna began her ascension -- and how She received Dumuzi at the end. . .
