Hathor

Hathor (Egyptian: ḥwt-ḥr, transliterated as Ḥwt-Hr, meaning "House of Horus") is an ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood. She was one of the most popular and revered deities in ancient Egyptian religion, often depicted as a cow goddess or a woman with cow horns and a solar disk between them. Hathor was also associated with music, dance, and celebration, and was believed to protect the dead in the afterlife. Her worship dates back to the Early Dynastic Period (c. 3150–2686 BCE) and continued throughout ancient Egyptian history. In other languages, Hathor is known as Hathor in French and German, Hator in Spanish, and Hator in Italian. In Hebrew, there is no direct translation, but she might be referred to as האתור (pronounced "Ha-Tor") based on the transliteration of her name.

Hathor

Major goddess in ancient Egyptian religion

Hathor was a major goddess in ancient Egyptian religion who played a wide variety of roles. As a sky deity, she was the mother or consort of the sky god Horus and the sun god Ra, both of whom were connected with kingship, and thus she was the symbolic mother of their earthly representatives, the pharaohs. She was one of several goddesses who acted as the Eye of Ra, Ra's feminine counterpart, and in this form, she had a vengeful aspect that protected him from his enemies. Her beneficent side represented beauty, music, dance, joy, love, sexuality, and maternal care, and she acted as the consort of several male deities and the mother of their sons. These two aspects of the goddess exemplified the Egyptian conception of femininity. Hathor crossed boundaries between worlds, helping deceased souls in the transition to the afterlife.
