In connection with Sophus Helle’s book on Enheduana—which this website was created to accompany—he did a series of interviews, including three video chats (with Digital Hammurabi, Yale Babylonian Collection, and Yale University Press), a podcast, and a blog. The book was reviewed in, among others, the TLS, the LRB, and the Financial Times.

To help celebrate Women’s History Month 2023, the Yale Babylonian Collection’s Instagram page ran a month-long coverage of Enheduana, her works, and her legacy, including featured objects from the collection and video interviews with Erhan Tamur, Benjamin Foster, Gina Konstantopoulos, and Sophus Helle.

The Morgan Library exhibition attracted much exciting news coverage, including on the front page of the BBC website as well as in the New York Times, the New Yorker, Hyperallergic, Artnews, and more. At around the same time, Enheduana appeared on Kate Mosse’s list of forgotten women for The Guardian.

Lee Lawrance writes about Enheduana and her poetry for AramcoWorld, featuring interviews with Gina Konstantopoulos, Haider Almamori, Meagan Blyth, and more. Lawrence brings out the true wealth of responses to Enheduana’s poems that have appeared in recent years.
