Actually the images I posted were labeled by their artists as Ereshkigal, the Sumer goddess of the Underworld.that's hela, norse goddess of death.
Hel or Hella is indeed different, and yet the same. Almost all religions can trace their origins back to one of the two main cradles of civilization.
Inanna merged into Egypt, Greece and Rome with derivations on her theme, and her sister did as well.
The Sumerians had over 4k gods/goddesses with the most epic moving into other pantheons.
The Indus Valley also produced tons of deities as well.
Regardless, the images I posted were labeled as Ereshkigal. I think that it will be her rather than Tiamat that we get. Tiamat had her name dropped but she is a progenitor of even Inanna in the Sumerian pantheon so...... maybe that means nothing???? or Something?????
Meh- I am sticking with the chief rival of Inanna for now...
Peace!
