Inanna. Not being linguistically inclined, it was my first thought.
When Inanna arrived at the outer gates of the underworld, She knocked loudly. She cried out in a fierce voice: 'Open the door, gatekeeper! Open the door, Neti! I alone would enter!'
Neti, the chief gatekeeper of the kur, asked: 'Who are you?' She answered: 'I am Inanna, Queen of Heaven, On my way to the East.' Neti said: 'If you are truly Inanna, Queen of Heaven, On your way to the East, Why has your heart led you on the road From which no traveller returns?'
I want to say it's closer for me; but, again, really not any kind of scholar, so just say that I flew there instead of Istar intitially for some reason, and keep getting drawn back. There was also a story of a princess who was her high priestess that I liked. I'm googling but haven't come back upon this yet. Will have to look at my journal archives.

When Inanna arrived at the outer gates of the underworld,
She knocked loudly.
She cried out in a fierce voice:
'Open the door, gatekeeper!
Open the door, Neti!
I alone would enter!'
Neti, the chief gatekeeper of the kur, asked:
'Who are you?'
She answered:
'I am Inanna, Queen of Heaven,
On my way to the East.'
Neti said:
'If you are truly Inanna, Queen of Heaven,
On your way to the East,
Why has your heart led you on the road
From which no traveller returns?'
