Romanticized stories to fit the mold and not the other way around, isn't that were the mirror comes into it?
When you disparage ancient traditions aren't you just conjuring up a cynical and negative archetype yourself and encouraging others to see things in such a way, and influencing society to reflect those values, in effect you are indulging in what you accuse others of...but don't really know you're doing it.
It's true ATS is a hotbed of strange archetypes from the past bubbling to the surface and those who are attracted or disturbed by them often through direct experience, and sometimes this does give an individual a sense of uniqueness until they come across someone who's experienced just the same and territorial disputes can arise, a rude awakening to the greater objective reality.

The description of Labartu indicates her connection in the spiritual or astral plane with nature-attributes.
The shape of Labartu is a Whirlwind and appears as the darkening heavens. Being described as a “Hag Demon” indicates she is able to wear a form of an ancient crone, whose body is composed of dark clouds and smoke. The most represented form of Lamashtu is featured on a bronze plaque of the ninth to seventh B.C. and shows her upon a boat on the rivers of the underworld NAR MARRATU, the very abyssic path to the underworld. She is looked over by Pazuzu, considered to be her husband and a king of wind-demons and Lil-spirits.
“Drink wine. This is life eternal. This is all that youth will give you. It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends. Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.” ― Omar Khayyám,
