Aga (Sumerian: 𒀝𒂵[2] Aga, Agga, or Akkà) commonly known as Aga of Kish, was the twenty-third and last king in the first dynasty of Kish during the Early Dynastic I period.[3][4] He is listed in the Sumerian King List and many sources as the son of Enmebaragesi.[5][6][7] The Kishite king ruled the city at its peak, probably reaching beyond the territory of Kish, including Umma and Zabala.[1]
The Sumerian poem Gilgamesh and Aga records the Kishite siege of Uruk after its lord Gilgamesh refused to submit to Aga, ending in Aga's defeat and consequently the fall of Kish's hegemony.[8]
