Ninsun

Ninsun, like Enkidu, is a powerful character in her own right. While perhaps best known for her role as the hero’s mother in the Epic of Gilgamesh, Ninsun is also a dynamic figure in the broader context of Mesopotamian literary and religious culture.

In a narrative involving numerous strong female actors, Ninsun stands apart in terms of her closeness to the hero, and her importance in his identification and legacy. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, and the Sumerian poem of the Death of Gilgamesh (considered in Chapter 6), Ninsun plays a pivotal role in the progression of the narrative.
