Who was the very first author? Homer, who wrote the Iliad and Odyssey in the late eighth or early seventh century BC, was not any other man, but rather a supreme priest and poet named Anhiduana or Ekheeda from Mesopotamia, and she was not only the first author in the world, but she was written In the first speaker form on the gods, priests, worshipers, mothers, workers, and rulers.
The American Forbes magazine states that Instanna was the daughter of Akkadian King Sergon (2334–2279 BC) and that she created her literary works in Sumerian with poems that demonstrated her sincerity toward the goddess of love and war. Despite the fact that many works of ancient Mesopotamian literature are not attributed to Instanna, Enigana included her name and the specifics of her autobiography. The writings of INGONA were reproduced for hundreds of years at the scribes’ schools because Mesopotamia was taught by writing by copying the hymns and mythology recorded by the previous generations on clay panels.
Inenwana is the aunt of the Akkad king Nram Sin, one of the earliest women by that name, and she served as the supreme priest of the god Nana, the moon goddess of the Sumerians, in the city of U. This post came with a political concession that was often held by the daughters of the kings.
It is the first time that a collection of artwork has captured the changing expressions of women’s life in ancient Mesopotamia during the late fourth and third millennia BC. The Morgan Museum in the United States is currently presenting a set of works on Enheduanna and Mesopotamian women between 3400 and 2000 BC. The exhibition also includes representations of other women from the oldest cities of Mesopotamia and offers insight into such a subject that was ignored in ancient society.
