Dumuzid,[a] titled the Fisherman,[b] was a legendary Sumerian king of Uruk listed originating from Kuara.

The primary source of information comes from the Sumerian King List: Dumuzid, the fisherman, whose city was Kuara, ruled for 100 years.

[d]According to scholars, the sequence of the first Uruk dynasty was fabricated during the Ur III period, which didn't include comments about some rulers.

The fabrication of king Dumuzid could have been derived from an ideological representation of the positional relationship, thought to have been practiced by the Ur III kings and their predecessors to Dumuzid in the myth of the holy wedding, and was added as a symbol of this act.

The composition starts with the preparation of a festival for Inanna, in which Gudam participates, although his role remains doubtful.
