A mother goddess, associated with love, fertility, sexuality, music, dance and alcohol.
Sometimes Hathor was seen as a sky goddess, a vast cow who stradled the heavens with her four legs marking the four cardinal points.
Hathor may be a remnant of the original cattle culture of the pre-historic egyptians.
The King was often depicted as being suckled by the Hathor in cow form. This relief on the walls of Deir el Bahri shows Hathor suckling Hatshepsut.

The Hathor Temple at Deir el Bahri is on the Southern side of the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, on the terrace platform. The columns that once supported the roof are headed by faces of Hathor. |
