Ereshkigal was only one of multiple deities regarded as rulers of the underworld in Mesopotamia. [4] [5] The main temple dedicated to her was located in Kutha, [6] a city originally associated with Nergal, [7] and her cult had a very limited scope. [8] [9] No personal names with "Ereshkigal" as a theophoric element are known. [10]

Ereshkigal was the queen of the Mesopotamian Underworld. [140] [141] She lived in a palace known as Ganzir. [140] In early accounts, her husband is Gugalanna, [140] whose character is undefined, but later the northern god Nergal was placed in this role. [140] [141] Her gatekeeper was the god Neti [141] and her sukkal was Namtar. [140]
The prayer addressed to Ereshkigal at the end of the Sumerian version further accentuates Inanna's fault.

Ereshkigal is the sole protagonist who genuinely benefits from her sister's impulsive action.

Namtar's name means "fate" in Sumerian. [1] It can be differentiated from the ordinary word "fate" in Sumerian texts due to being preceded by the dingir sign, so-called divine determinative, used to identify the names of deities. [1] The same name was used in Akkadian, written as d nam-ta-ru. [2]
Allani's character was in part influenced by the Mesopotamian goddess Ereshkigal, [16] who similarly was associated with the underworld. [38] The sumerogram d EREŠ.KI.GAL could be used to represent Allani's name in Hittite sources. [39] However, it is not clear if the two goddesses were already considered analogous in the Ur III period. [27]
