Happy Easter, Which is Not Named After Ishtar, Okay? - The Daily Beast

| Apparently, NOT so. . . |
According to the link, as they quote from Bell Jar:
Anyway, the point I am trying to make here is that, yes, Ishtar was associated with fertility and sex. However, her symbols were the lion, the gate and the eight-pointed star; I can’t find any evidence of eggs or rabbits symbolically belonging to her. And Easter has nothing to do with her.
Article has good points and in the specific case of Ishtar/Easter, okay then. But on the other hand, seems like missing the point, a lot of energy nitpicking the obvious.
