After the death of Enheduanna’s father, King Sargon,a general took advantage of the power vacuum and staged a coup.As a powerful member of the ruling family,Enheduanna was a target,and the general exiled her from Ur.Her nephew, the legendary Sumerian king Naram-Sin,ultimately crushed the uprising and restored his aunt as high priestess.In total, Enheduanna served as high priestess for 40 years.After her death, she became a minor deity,and her poetry was copied, studied, and performed throughout the empire for over 500 years.Her poems influenced the Hebrew Old Testament,the epics of Homer, and Christian hymns.Today, Enheduanna’s legacy still exists,on clay tablets that have stood the test of time.
