The Akkadian/Sumerian poet Enheduanna (2285-2250 BCE) is the world’s first author known by name and was the daugher of Sargon of Akkad (Sargon the Great). Whether Enheduanna was, in fact, a blood relative of Sargon’s or the title was figurative is not known. Sargon placed enormous trust in Enheduanna in elevating her to the position of high priestess of the most important temple in Sumer. History Facts, Egypt Civilization
