Inanna was associated with the planet Venus, which is named after her Roman equivalent [[Venus (mythology)|Venus]]. Several hymns praise Inanna in her role as the goddess or personification of the planet Venus.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=161–172}} Theology professor Jeffrey Cooley has argued that, in many myths, Inanna's movements may correspond with the movements of the planet Venus in the sky.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=161–172}} In ''Inanna's Descent to the Underworld'', unlike any other deity, Inanna is able to descend into the netherworld and return to the heavens. The planet Venus appears to make a similar descent, setting in the West and then rising again in the East.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=161–172}} An introductory hymn describes Inanna leaving the heavens and heading for ''Kur'', what could be presumed to be the mountains, replicating the rising and setting of Inanna to the West.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=161–172}} In ''Inanna and Shukaletuda'', Shukaletuda is described as scanning the heavens in search of Inanna, possibly searching the eastern and western horizons.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=163–164}} In the same myth, while searching for her attacker, Inanna herself makes several movements that correspond with the movements of Venus in the sky.{{sfn|Cooley|2008|pages=161–172}}
