Smite – New Goddess Ishtar

Ishtar is the Queen of Heaven in Babylonian mythology. She carries on the legacy from a goddess of the even earlier Sumerian mythology, Inanna. These two were likely two different unrelated deities but as the civilization changed through the eras of the Akkadians, the Assyrians, and the Babylonians, the name Ishtar became the most prominent moniker for the goddess that oversees the same realms that Inanna once did. Ishtar is intensely passionate which can inspire rage that devastates her enemies or foster affection that can be the most powerful of blessings for her worshippers.
