The Ancient Sumerians Had a Goddess of Excess - Apparently.
In ancient Sumerian mythology, the goddess Nisaba was revered for her role in the invention of writing, but her counterpart, the goddess Nungal, was worshipped as a patron of taverns and excess. In the Sumerian city of Ur, Nungal's temple was built near a brothel and a tavern, and her festivals were known for their rowdy celebrations. The Sumerians believed that Nungal's temple was a place where the boundaries between good and evil were blurred, and that she embodied the spirit of indulgence and excess.
