Inaras was in Near Eastern mythology (Hittite), a goddess who helped slay the evil dragon Illuyankas. She made the dragon drunk with wine, and with the aid of her lover, Hupasiyas, she had the dragon trussed up with a cord and killed by the weather god. As a reward for helping her, Inaras had a house constructed for her lover Hupasiyas but told him never to look out the window or he would see his mortal wife and children. He disobeyed and was killed by Inaras.
