ENHEDUANNA

   Daughter of Sargon of Akkad. An inscription on a small limestone disc found at Ur records her dedication as entum priestess of the moon godNannar-Suen at Ur. She may have been the first of a long line of royal princesses who held this prestigious position. Enheduanna also appears as the author of several literary works, such as the “Sumerian Temple Hymns” and an enigmatic text known as nin-me-sar-rathat seems to relate to the political tensions between Ur and Uruk during her period of office.
