Ara (goddess)

Ancient Mesopotamia

Ara was a Mesopotamian goddess regarded as a servant of the god Enki. While in the past it was often assumed this theonym was only an alternate name for Isimud, today the two are regarded as distinct deities who eventually came to be conflated with each other. Ara is attested in sources such as god lists, incantations and a curse formula from Malgium.
