The Epic of Gilgamesh
idk
In their celestial boats the Anunnaki the Earth were circling.
Crowding the compartments, against the outer walls they crouched,
What was happening upon the Earth, down below, to see they strained.
From the celestial boat in which she was, Ninmah like a woman in travail cried out:
My created like drowned dragonflies in a pond the waters fill,
All life by the rolling sea wave away was taken! Thus did Ninmah cry and moan.
Inanna (ishtar) , who was with her, also cried and lamented:
Everything down below, all that lived, has turned into clay!
Thus did Ninmah and Inanna weep; they wept and eased their feelings.
