I did not know that either @malloryblythe. Thanks for giving me something to read about. And I agree, that would make a great movie, there is a princess in the middle of political intrigue and the poetry of course.
The whole story that she's a part of is so cool too. Her dad is like, the ultimate legend of ancient Mesopotamia. The kings that came in the millennia after him worshipped him as their historical predecessor, but we don't actually know much about him as historical fact. He built the first known empire in history. The only reason we don't hear as much about him as we do about the Roman emperors is that nobody knew how to read cuneiform for a couple thousand years, so it wasn't until a century ago that we first read his legends. Enheduanna was driven into exile for a short time when someone tried to overthrow her dad and had to fight to regain her post. There's tons that we don't know but a creative filmmaker could make an amazing story out of her life :)
