Inanna and the Huluppu Tree
Innana brings a tree to her garden and wants to make it into a throne but a snake, anzu bird, and maid live in the tree and it makes Inanna cry
The woman planted the tree with her feet, but not with her hands. The woman watered it using her feet but not her hands. She said: "When will this be a luxuriant chair on which I can take a seat?" She said: "When this will be a luxuriant bed on which I can lie down?" Five years, ten years went by, the tree grew massive; its bark, however, did not split. At its roots, a snake immune to incantations made itself a nest. In its branches, the Anzud bird settled its young. In its trunk, the phantom maid built herself a dwelling, the maid who laughs with a joyful heart. But holy Inana cried!
Innana asks gilgamesh to slay the serpent and he does, which causes the bird and the maid to flee.
Possible that the maid is Lillith
