Historical Background

In Mesopotamian mythology, Ereshkigal is the queen of the underworld, Irkalla. She is the sister of Ishtar. She ruled over Irkalla with Nergal (god of war & pestilence), though she was the top ruler in this realm of the dead. She is considered dark and violent. Ereshkigal translates as "lady of the great earth" or "lady of the great place".
