She is courted by a farmer named [[Enkimdu]] and a shepherd named [[Dumuzid the Shepherd|Dumuzid]]. At first, Inanna prefers the farmer, but Utu and Dumuzid gradually persuade her that Dumuzid is the better choice for a husband, arguing that, for every gift the farmer can give to her, the shepherd can give her something even better. In the end, Inanna marries Dumuzid. The shepherd and the farmer reconcile their differences, offering each other gifts. Samuel Noah 。サミュエル・ノア・クレイマーは、この神話を後の聖書のカインとアベルの物語と比較している。両神話は、農夫と羊飼いが神の好意をめぐって競い合い、どちらの物語も最終的には神が羊飼いを選ぶからだ<ref>Kramer compares the myth to the later Biblical story of [[Cain and Abel]] because both myths center around a farmer and a shepherd competing for divine favor and, in both stories1961, the deity in question ultimately chooses the shepherd.{{sfn|Kramer|1961|page=101}}page101</ref>。
