Quotes about Ninmena
Here, in 'Where Flesh Came Forth' (𒍜𒌓𒁺𒀀), he set this very hoe to work; he had it place the first model of mankind in the brick mould. His Land started to break through the soil towards Enlil. He looked with favour at his black-headed people. Now the Anuna gods stepped forward to him, and did obeisance to him. They calmed Enlil with a prayer, for they wanted to demand the black-headed people from him. Ninmena, the lady who had given birth to the ruler, who had given birth to the king, now set human reproduction going.
Song of the Hoe, 3rd millennium BCE. Text online at the electronic text corpus of sumerian literature.
