Ishtar of Nineveh (Akkadian: Ištar Nīnuwā)

Ishtar (Sumerian: Inanna) was the Mesopotamian goddess of love, war, fertility, and sexuality. She was venerated throughout Mesopotamia, but particularly in Nineveh, where she was worshiped under the title Ishtar of Nineveh, distinguishing her from Ishtar of Arbela and others. The temple of Ishtar in Nineveh was one of the city's most important religious centers and likely central to its identity—possibly even influencing the etymology of the city's name.
