@raymccarthy @mythology @histodons @antiquidons @archaeodons I don't think this is Inanna but she might be the Eastern origin of Aphrodite. At least it seems that some stories were borrowed.

Inanna > Ishtar > Attart > Astarte > Aphrodite > Venus
Inanna called "The Queen of Heaven"* and associated with morning/evening star (=Venus)
Possible connections too to Tanit and Isis (also Queen of Heaven)
[* Title added to Mary/Mirriam approx 4th C., also got Star of the Sea, one of the labels earlier used]
