Ishtar is a mother goddess, fertility goddess, the goddess of spring, a storm goddess, a warrior goddess and goddess of war, a goddess of the hunt, a goddess of love, goddess of marriage and childbirth, and a goddess of fate.
As the goddess of love, Ishtar was irresistible, with numerous lovers; she was the patroness of courtesans and prostitutes. Ishtar herself was the \'courtesan of the gods\' and she was the first to experience the desires which she inspired. Sovereign of the world by virtue of love\'s omnipotence, Ishtar was the most popular goddess in Assyria and Babylonia.
