Mullissu

Also proposed to be Mullissu is a goddess whom Herodotus called Mylitta and identified with Aphrodite.

The name Mylitta may derive from Mulliltu or Mullitta, the Babylonian variant of Mullissu, where one cult was connected with the é-kur in Nippur and the other with Kish (Sumer).

[3][2] Mulliltum was an epithet of Ninlil which appears as Mullissu in Neo-Assyrian as the wife of god Ashur.

[4] She is spelled mlš, here also as the consort of Asshur (’šr), in the Sfire inscription (A8) from Syria inscribed in Old Aramaic (eighth century BCE).
