History[]
Ninhursag, also known as Damgalnuna or Ninmah, was the ancient mother goddess of the mountains, and one of the seven great deities of Sumerian mythology. She is principally a fertility goddess. Sources identify her as the "true and great lady of heaven" and kings of Sumer were "nourished by Ninhursag's milk." Sometimes her hair is depicted in an omega shape and at times she wears a horned headdress and tiered skirt, often with bow cases at her shoulders. Frequently, she carries a mace or baton surmounted by an omega motif or a derivation, sometimes accompanied by a lion cub on a leash. She is the tutelary deity to several Sumerian leaders.
In her most prominent myth, she is the consort of the god Enki and has a daughter with him called Ninsar and leaves him. Enki, without knowing that Ninsar was his daughter, seduces Ninsar and has a daughter with her called Nikturra. Again Ninsar leaves him and Enki once again seduces his daughter (without knowing it was his) and has another daughter called Uttu. A third time Enki tries to seduce his new daughter, but this time she seeks Ninhursag for advice. Ninhursag takes Enki's semen and buries it in the ground, this produces 8 plants that Enki proceeds to eat and becomes ill because of this. Ninhursag absorbs the illnesses from Enki into her own body and creates 8 gods of healing of each part of the body from them.
