[[Dumuzid]] (later known as Tammuz), the god of shepherds, is usually described as Inanna's husband, but according to some interpretations Inanna's loyalty to him is questionable; in the myth of her descent into the Underworld, she abandons Dumuzid and permits the ''[[gallu|galla]]'' demons to drag him down into the underworld as her replacement. In a different myth, ''The Return of Dumuzid'' Inanna instead mourns over Dumuzid's death and ultimately decrees that he will be allowed to return to Heaven to be with her for one half of the year.{{sfn|Wolkstein|Kramer|1983|page=89}}{{sfn|Leick|1998|page=93}} Dina Katz notes that the portrayal of their relationship in Inanna's Descent is unusual;{{sfn|Katz|2015|p=67-68}} it does not resemble the portrayal of their relationship in other myths about Dumuzi's death, which almost never pin the blame for it on Inanna, but rather on demons or even human bandits.{{sfn|Katz|1996|p=93-103}} A large corpus of love poetry describing encounters between Inanna and Dumuzi has been assembled by researchers.{{sfn|Peterson|2010|p=253}} However, local manifestations of Inanna/Ishtar were not necessarily associated with Dumuzi.{{sfn|Asher-Greve|Westenholz|2013|p=80}} In [[Kish (Sumer)|Kish]], the tutelary deity of the city, [[Zababa]] (a war god), was viewed as the consort of a local hypostasis of Ishtar,{{sfn|Asher-Greve|Westenholz|2013|p=78}} though after the [[Old Babylonian period]] [[Bau (goddess)|Bau]], introduced from [[Lagash]], became his spouse (an example of a couple consisting out of a warrior god and a medicine goddess, common in Mesopotamian mythology{{sfn|Asher-Greve|Westenholz|2013|p=38}}) and Ishtar of Kish started to instead be worshiped on her own.{{sfn|Asher-Greve|Westenholz|2013|p=78}}
