Ishtar's Descent Into the Underworld

Some people simply aren’t competitive, others can’t bear to lose, and then there are very few people who quite reach the level of the kings in one of today’s stories. In Judith Heineman’s story, these two kings keep thinking that they are better than the other and will stop at nothing to prove it - even if that means turning to magical sources to gain the upper hand. We’ll also enjoy stories by Anne Rutherford, Valentina Ortiz, Dovie Thomason, and Don White. On today’s episode, enjoy the following: “King of the Cats” by Anne Rutherford “Nonantzin, Mother Earth” by Valentina Ortiz “Frog and Turtle” by Dovie Thomason “Ishtar’s Descent to the Underworld” by Judith Heineman “Shine On You” by Don White
