Roberts - Enheduanna, Daughter of King Sargon: Princess, Poet, Priestess - Transoxiana 8 Enheduanna, Daughter of King Sargon Princess, Poet, Priestess (2300 B.C.) Enheduanna is a woman in ancient history, whose role shows the diverse demands of women of all time. Her role as poet, priestess, and princess, fulfills the contribution of a woman to the social, cultural and written literary record, and the second shows her leadership in the temple and with the community,as well as in "divine marriage" with the gods, whereas the last, princess, defines her as representative of her father and the mediator of conflict resolution within a culture split by tradition and language differences.
