About us
The Enheduanna Society is
a registered educational charity (registration number 1097515) founded in 2002 to popularise
the literature of Ancient Iraq (Mesopotamia) through the art of oral
storytelling. The woman it takes its name from lived in
Mesopotamia in about 2300 BCE, and was the world’s first named
poet. Enheduanna’s surviving work, originally
written in Sumerian, consists of three poems to the goddess
Inanna and forty temple hymns.
