| 2387 | ENT_ELAM_INSHUSHINAK | patron_of | ENT_DEAD | high | Inshushinak is explicitly "lord of the dead" in Elamite sources — his judicial function encompasses the fate of souls after death, a role consistent with his position as the supreme city deity of Susa (a major funerary cult center) and with the underworld associations of ancient Near Eastern city gods who control the boundary between living and dead. The "Sit-shamshi" bronze ritual scene from Susa (depicting funerary rites) is associated with his cult. Potts (1999) p. 273. | SRC_POTTS_ELAM | reviewed | PER_ELAM_CLASSICAL |
