Enhedu’ana ist zweifellos die wichtigste Frauengestalt des 3. Jahrtausends v.u.Z.
Über das Leben von Enhedu’ana sind wir hauptsächlich durch ihre Schriften
informiert. Enhedu’ana war die Tochter des akkadischen Königs Sargon des Großen (2356 bis 2300 v.u.Z. [mittlere Chronologie [1]] bzw. 2292 bis 2236 v.u.Z. [kurze Chronologie]). Sargon setzte seine Anverwandten gezielt in politisch wichtigen Positionen ein: Deshalb […]

The Art of the Erotic Ex-Libris
