No need to be cucurious: obviously it will be both, as I just spoke about Ishtar and Ereshkigal, and there'll be others, though the ratio was always heavily on the side of the male, just how it was with most mythologies. The Babylonian/Sumerian one was one of the exceptions; Norse mythology barely acknowledged their goddesses, except as maybe baby-making machines or things for gods to fight over or possess.

Women won't get ignored here, though I think you'll agree that the title Of Gods, Goddesses, Men and Women would be too much of a mouthful.

Thanks for your comment.
