Me (Mythology)

Me is a concept in the cosmology of Sumerian mythology which describes the discrete bestowal of each of the arts and sciences by the gods to humans. In one poem, Inanna is described as meeting with Enki, the divine caretaker of the me, and getting him drunk in a plot to steal them from him (compare with the theft of fire by Prometheus in Greek mythology).
The me are a central plot device in Neal Stephenson's novel Snowcrash.
