In Sumerian mythology, the body of the goddess Inanna underwent a significant transformation following her descent to the Underworld. After being judged by her sister Ereshkigal, Inanna was stripped of her powers and hung on a wall, symbolizing death and loss. Ultimately, she is resurrected through the intervention of her loyal servant, leading to themes of rebirth and renewal in Sumerian lore. This myth illustrates the cycle of life, death, and the balance of female power.
