Her parents are the deities Anu and Uras mythology Uras . Myths In the Epic of Gilgamesh , Ninsun is depicted as a human queen who lives in Uruk with her son as king. Since the father of Gilgamesh was former king Lugalbanda , it stands to reason that Ninsun procreated with Lugalbanda to give birth. Also in the Epic of Gilgamesh , Ninsun is summoned by Gilgamesh and Enkidu to help pray to the god Utu to help the two on their journey to the Country of the Living to battle Humbaba . Names Ninsun is called Rimat Ninsun , the August cow , the Wild Cow of the Enclosure , and The Great Queen . In the Tello relief the ancient Lagash, 2150 BC her name is written with the cuneiform glyphs as DINGIR.NIN.GUL where the glyph for GUL is the same for SUN2. According to John Halloran s Sumerian Lexicon, the meaning of GUL is enormous and evil but also the verb to wreck, destroy utterly . The meaning of SUN2 is attested as cow . Notes Ninsun was called Gula in Sumerian Mythology until the name was later changed to Ninisina. Gula in the latter became a Babylonian goddess. Ninsun was originally named Nininsina, according to Pabilsag s journey to Nibru . According to the ancient Babylonian text, Nininsina wedded Pabilsag near a riverbank. By Pabilsag she bore Damu .
