- Ninhursag was the mountain and mother goddess in Sumerian mythology. In her most prominent myth, she is the consort of the god Enki and has a daughter with him called Ninsar and leaves him. Enki, without knowing that Ninsar was his daughter, seduces Ninsar and has a daughter with her called Nikturra. Again Ninsar leaves him and Enki once again seduces his daughter (without knowing it was his) and has another daughter called Uttu. A third time Enki tries to seduce his new daughter, but this time she seeks Ninhursag for advice. Ninhursag takes Enki´s semen and buries it into the ground, this produces 8 plants that Enki proceeds to eat and becomes ill because of this. Ninhursag absorbs the illnesses from Enki into her own body and creates 8 gods of healing of each part of the body from them.
- Nin-hursag means "lady of the mountain" (from Sumerian NIN "lady" and ḪAR.SAG "mountain, foothill")). She had many names including Ninmah ("Great Queen"); Nintu ("Lady of Birth"); Mamma or Mami (mother); Aruru (meaning unknown); Belet-Ili (lady of the gods, Akkadian). According to legend her name was changed from Ninmah to Ninhursag by her son Ninurta in order to commemorate his creation of the mountains. As Ninmenna, according to a Babylonian investiture ritual, she placed the golden crown on the king in the Eanna temple.

| - Ninhursag is a queen of the Mesopotamian deities. She is the sister of Enlil and husband of Enki. Her children are Marduk, Ashnan, Lahar, Ninsar and Ningal.
- Ninhursag was the mountain and mother goddess in Sumerian mythology. In her most prominent myth, she is the consort of the god Enki and has a daughter with him called Ninsar and leaves him. Enki, without knowing that Ninsar was his daughter, seduces Ninsar and has a daughter with her called Nikturra. Again Ninsar leaves him and Enki once again seduces his daughter (without knowing it was his) and has another daughter called Uttu. A third time Enki tries to seduce his new daughter, but this time she seeks Ninhursag for advice. Ninhursag takes Enki´s semen and buries it into the ground, this produces 8 plants that Enki proceeds to eat and becomes ill because of this. Ninhursag absorbs the illnesses from Enki into her own body and creates 8 gods of healing of each part of the body from them.
- Nin-hursag means "lady of the mountain" (from Sumerian NIN "lady" and ḪAR.SAG "mountain, foothill")). She had many names including Ninmah ("Great Queen"); Nintu ("Lady of Birth"); Mamma or Mami (mother); Aruru (meaning unknown); Belet-Ili (lady of the gods, Akkadian). According to legend her name was changed from Ninmah to Ninhursag by her son Ninurta in order to commemorate his creation of the mountains. As Ninmenna, according to a Babylonian investiture ritual, she placed the golden crown on the king in the Eanna temple. Some take the view that Ki ("Earth") the primordial goddess of the earth and consort of An (sky), was identical to or an earlier form of Ninhursag. This may very well be the case, since some authorities argue that Ki was never regarded as a deity in her own right in the historical period. There is no evidence of a cult for the goddess and the name appears in a limited number of Sumerian creation texts. As Ki, Ninhursag would be the mother of Enlil, whereas in other sources she is his sister. Some of the names above were once associated with independent goddesses (such as Ninmah and Ninmenna), who later became identified and merged with Ninhursag, and myths exist in which the name Ninhursag is not mentioned.
