I’m reading a book on ancient textiles and this jumped out at me:
“In her poem, Inanna and Ebih, dating to the Akkadian period, c. 2300 BC, Enheduanna, daughter of Sargon, King of Akkad, described Inanna (translated variously) as “clad in terror” or with “terror folds in her robes.”
I wonder what color that is.
I mean, my semi-professional guess would be “blood of her enemies”.
