伊什塔尔下降冥界的故事记载在古代苏美尔和阿卡德的泥板上，伊什塔尔是掌管爱情与丰饶的女神。传说她决定前往冥界，去看望统治冥界的姐姐埃列什基伽勒。冥界一共有七重大门，每过一道门，守门人就要求她交出一件衣饰。

The story of Ishtar's Descent to the Underworld is recorded on ancient Sumerian and Akkadian clay tablets. Ishtar was the goddess of love and fertility. Legend says she decided to travel to the underworld to visit her sister Ereshkigal, who ruled there. The underworld had seven great gates, and at each one, the gatekeeper demanded she give up one piece of her clothing or jewelry.

伊什塔尔一心想要见到姐姐，一道一道门走过去，也一件一件地交出了自己的王冠、耳环、项链……等她终于走到最后一道门前，她身上已经什么都不剩了。姐姐埃列什基伽勒见她来势汹汹，非常生气，让她永远留在了冥界。

Determined to see her sister, Ishtar passed through gate after gate, giving up her crown, earrings, and necklace, one by one... By the time she reached the final gate, she had nothing left at all. Her sister Ereshkigal, seeing her arrive so boldly, grew furious and kept her trapped in the underworld forever.
