In this clip, the traditional Sumerian myth of “The Hupullu Tree” is retold to address the violence against the little date palm (hupullu) and the powerful, magical creatures it houses, as well as its savior, the great goddess, Inara (trad. Inanna or Ishtar). In this poetic rendering, the goddess does not run to Gilgamesh for help (an action contrary to her character in other myths), but rather calls on her own gifts of insight and compassion to solve the crisis involving the tree and its residents. Based on “The Hupullu Tree” from Diane and Samuel Noah Kramer, Inanna: Queen of the Heaven and Earth; Her Stories and Hymns from Sumer. Harper & Row, 1983.
