Šarrāḫītu

Šarrāḫītu (Akkadian: "The glorified one"[1]) was a Mesopotamian goddess worshiped chiefly in Uruk from the Achaemenid period onward.

[1] Oldest attestations of Šarrāḫītu come from Babylon, where she was identified with Ašratum, the wife of Amurru.

[3] A late esoteric text explains her name as Ašrat aḫītu, "Ashratum, the foreigner.

[5] Šarrāḫītu was among the goddesses who were introduced to the pantheon of Uruk in the final centuries of history of ancient Mesopotamia, alongside the likes of Amasagnudi and Ama-arhus.

[6] It has been pointed out that her rise to prominence in Uruk occurred at the same time as relative decline of Uṣur-amāssu and Urkayītu.
