This paper considers the mythological tale Nergal and Ereškigal in an attempt to investigate the nature of Ereškigal’s dominion over the Mesopotamian Realm of the Dead. By using other Mesopotamian literary composition as well as Near Eastern law, the paper demonstrates that Ereškigal never relinquished her power over the Netherworld to Nergal because such a power was never hers to lose.

从来没有真正的她：Ereškigal的嫁妆和虚空世界的统治

本文考虑了神话故事Nergal和Ereškigal，以试图研究Ereškigal统治美索不达米亚死者王国的本质。通过使用其他美索不达米亚文学作品和近东法律，该论文表明，埃雷什基加尔从未将其对虚空世界的权力移交给了内尔加尔，因为这种权力永远不会让她失去。
