Fan Mail
hello! Thank you for the excellent podcast. I’d love to hear Sophus Helle back on the podcast to talk about Inanna and Enheduanna. I’ve read his translation (and thought provoking essays) after having become an Inanna fan (or worshipper?) through Emily H Wilson’s book. Your episode on Gilgamesh with him was awesome. All the best, Clara
