Uraš or Urash, in Sumerian theology, is a goddess of earth, and a consort of the sky god Anu. She is the mother of the goddess Ninsun and a grandmother of the hero Gilgamesh. In Akkadian, she was the first consort of Anu, and the pair were the parents of the Anunnaki and the Utukki. Her name Uras even became applied to Anu himself, and acquired the meaning "heaven".[1]
