Ereshkigal

Ereshkigal is an ancient Mesopotamian goddess who rules over the Underworld, the realm of the dead. She is often depicted as a powerful and inescapable mistress, governing over spirits and the afterlife. As the sister of Inanna (or Ishtar), she plays a key role in mythologies involving death, rebirth, and the divine order. Ereshkigal's domain symbolizes the cycle of life and death, and she is revered as a guardian of mortality and a vital figure in Mesopotamian spirituality and cosmology.
