As I read “A collection of Babylonian Prayers”, I noticed that most of the reading consist of prayers. Unlike praying to one god, like we do. They had three gods named Ishtar, Begetress of all, Nanna, Lord of the Moon, and Bel, Lord of wisdom. Each god had something special that made them different from the other gods and receive curtain prayers.
In the first passage To Ishtar, Begetress of all, I realized that a person seem to be unhappy with life. In sentence 10-18 it says “Food I did not eat, I was bathed in tears! Water I did not quaff, tears were my drink! My heart is not glad; my soul is not cheerful; ....................I do not walk like a man. ...........painfully I wail! My sighs are many, my sickness is great! O my lady, teach me
