Enheduanna, the First Writer

Well, the first known writer. She was a Sumerian princess-priestess-poetess.

She lived from 2285-2250 BCE in Ur, Sumeria (modern-day Iraq). Her father was King Sargon the Great of Akkad, who unified many Sumerian city-states and was the first person in recorded history to rule an empire (probably--it depends on your precise definition of 'empire').

It was Sargon who appointed his daughter to High Priestess to help consolidate power in the city of Ur, in the southern part of the kingdom.

She served, and was called the wife of, Nanna, the Sumerian moon god. The name we now know her by reflects this: EN was the role of High Priestess and Nanna was the diety she served. However, many of her writings were for Inanna (later called Ishtar), the Queen goddess of love, beauty, sex, war, justice, and political power.

All told, Enheduanna composed 42 hymns that were spread and copied through the empire. She said,

"My king, something has been created that no one has created before."

She also wrote 'Nin-Me-Sar-Ra' (The Exaltation of Inanna), one of several personal devotions to Inanna that helped connect the goddess to Ishtar. It also details some events of Enheduanna's life. It relates that she was expelled from Ur after a political rebellion against her father; she asked Nanna to intercede..

It's not known how her life ends, but the Akkadian Empire started by her father lasted for a hundred years after her death, and her name and works remain famous across the world.

Temple Hymn 26

The Zabalam Temple Of Inanna

O house    wrapped in beams of light

wearing shining stone jewels    wakening great awe

sanctuary of pure Inanna

(where) divine powers the true me spread wide

Zabalam

shrine of the shining mountain

shrine that welcomes the morning light

she makes resound with desire

the Holy Woman grounds your hallowed chamber

with desire

your queen    Inanna of the sheepfold

that singular woman

the unique one

who speaks hateful words to the wicked

who moves among the bright shining things

who goes against rebel lands

and at twilight makes the firmament beautiful

all on her own

great daughter of Suen

pure Inanna

O house of Zabalam

has built this house on your radiant site

and placed her seat upon your dais

“He has not stood in awe of the greatest deity. He has turned that temple, whose attractions were inexhaustible, whose beauty was endless, into a destroyed temple. While he entered before me as if he was a partner, really he approached out of envy. My good divine wild cow, drive out the man, capture the man!”

— The Exaltation of Inanna, first hymn in the world by the first author in world history, High Priestess Enheduanna, c. 2300 B.C.E.
