This page http://www.dcuguide.com/who.php?name=ishtar describes Ishtar from Madame Xanadu #1 as a fugitive Oan who was worshipped on Earth as the goddess Ishtar, and whose daughter appears in Green Lantern Annual Vol. 3 #9  but it also mentions Nergal from Arak, Son of Thunder #43 who also has a page here: http://www.dcuguide.com/who.php?name=nergal2 and has links to several other Mesopotamian gods in DC Comics. However, I'm not sure what this means for Baal from Batman: Demon and Man of Steel #126 who has a bio here: http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Baal-Hadad_(New_Earth). Are they all Oans or are some of them Oans and some of them gods? I opted for the latter in the entry. However, should we separate them between Oans and Anunnaki (the name the Sumerians had for their gods) or should we just consider the Anunnaki a splinter race of the Oans. Personally, I'm a mythological purist and would separate them, and because Baal is definitely god-like in the Superman issue. How should these races/groups be represented?
