Šauška

History
Šauška was a Goddess from the Hurrita Mythology being the counterpart of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar that was adopte by the king Hattusili III (1420–1400 BC) after his marriage to Puduhepa.

like Innana/Ishtar, Šauška was the godess of the fertility, war but a diference with Innana/Ishtar.Šauška was the godess of the healing (because Innana/Isthar was the godess of the love but not of the healing), show her with a human form with wings standing with a lion and accompanied by two servants.

Shaushka is peculiar in the fact that he uses his authority in matters of sexuality to waste time where he sees fit. The texts describe Shaushka in a similar way to Ishtar, an ambiguous goddess who oversaw conjugal love and harmonious relationships but could unpredictably turn love into a dangerous undertaking. The reliefs at Yazilikaya show the goddess twice: in one relief she is shown with male gods and in another with goddesses. According to the Hittite texts about Shaushka from Lawazantiva: she dresses as a man and as a woman, she has masculine attributes such as an ax and weapons. She has sometimes been regarded as a sign of her bisexual or androgynous nature.
