Uraš or Urash, in Sumerian mythology is a goddess of earth, and one of the consorts of the sky god Anu. She is the mother of the goddess Ninsun and a grandmother of the hero Gilgamesh.
However, Uras may only have been another name for Antum, Anu's wife.[1] The name Uras even became applied to Anu himself, and acquired the meaning "heaven".[1] Ninurta also was apparently called Uras in later times.[2]
