Wow.... I'm an amateur historian and I love this stuff. Continue please.Interesting, and frequently recycled, but wrong.
Easter is a Germanic word - Middle English Ester, Eestour, from Old English ēastre, cognate with Old High German ōstarūn, and related to Ēostre, Ēastre, name of a goddess and her festival that was celebrated at the vernal equinox, from Proto-Germanic *Austrǭ, cognate with 'East', obviously associated with sunrise. Ishtar was an East Semitic goddess worshipped from the Bronze Age onward; Astarte (Greek: Ἀστάρτη, Astártē) is the Hellenized form of Astoreth, the Northwest Semitic form of Ishtar. There is no connection between the two.

There is a lot of sloppy scholarship out there, especially on the Internet. Fortunately, there is Eul to keep us sorted.Interesting, and frequently recycled, but wrong.

oh crucify them anyway....!! that's what we're here for....There is a lot of sloppy scholarship out there, especially on the Internet. Fortunately, there is Eul to keep us sorted.
So, we go out and enslave and crucify all the Ishtar supporters then, yeah?
Did I perhaps miss the point?
Thanks for all this interesting stuff, Eul.This legend has faint parallels with the Easter story (especially the non-biblical elaborations where Christ goes down to Hell to release the souls imprisoned there), and with others like Persephone, and Orpheus and Eurydice, but the tale of Ishtar is so secy, with the stripping (cf the dance of the seven veils) and the torture hung on a hook!
