Ishtar is the Mesopotammian Goddess of War, Love and a bunch of other things. She is notable for being considered a ‘girlboss’A) in the modern day but…upon looking deeper…
Ishtar is terrifying and not in the fun way. Ishtar is violent, petty and chaotic. Consider that after Gilgamesh rejects her, her Plan A is to get her dad to kill him and her Plan B, in the event her dad isn’t willing to, was to destroy the entire world.
Ishtar is also probably the precursor to Aphrodite.
