Here is a compiled list of myths centred around Inanna, as well as where you can read them online.

^{_{Note: When searching for translations of myths in search engines, the spelling “Inana” is more likely to get hits. It is believed that Inana is the correct spelling of Her name. This discrepancy is due to early Assyriologists’ limited knowledge of Sumerian script when it was first deciphered. Other words affected by this revelation include Eana, Enheduana, and the Anuna. However, Temple of Eanna will continue to use the older spellings as they are the most commonly known among non-academics.}}
