Summary/Abstract: The present article contains the Hungarian translation of the mythic narrative Inana and Šukaletuda. It further presents the narrative style and the usage of words in this composition, which provide a special characterisation for the protagonist, Šukaletuda, and it argues that the formulation of this work implicitly condemns the rightfulness of the gardener’s deeds.
