Ninsar

From HandWiki - Reading time: 1 min

In Sumerian mythology, Ninsar (Sumerian: 𒀭𒊩𒌆𒊬, romanized: Ninmu; from Nin = Lady, Sar = Green(ery)) is the goddess of plants. Her birth resulted from Enki impregnating Ninhursag who followed a period of gestation lasting nine days. The poet was careful to note that each day corresponds to a month in the human period of gestation; of this union is begotten the goddess Ninsar. Ninsar in return is impregnated by her father and after nine days of gestation she gives birth to the goddess Ninkur.


Also known as Ninki (Lady Earth), Ninmah, Ninmu, Nin-shar
