ENHEDUANNA'S TEMPLE HYMNS

Religious geography, cities known
by their gods and temples; the gods
the true rulers, humans their governors,
viceroys. Divine supremacy - yet what
were gods without human beings singing
hymns in their praise, without sacrificing
to them, filling the granaries of temples,
raising temples to heights to be myths
for future generations? What is a god
without worshipers but a lonely
voice pleading in the wind?
