[ Anubis ] [ Atum ] [ Bastet ] [ Bes ] [ Geb ] [ Hathor ] [ Horus ] [ Isis ] [ Maat ] [ Nephthys ] [ Nut ] [ Osiris ] [ Ptah ] [ Ra ] [ Set ] [ Shu ] [ Tefnut ] [ Thoth ]
Goddess of joy, love, dance, song, and alcohol. Hathor often looked after young ones and children
in general. She was also known to carry the dead into the underworld. Hathor is one of the two gods associated with the
"eye of ra." At one point Ra thought that his enemies were trying to plot against him, and in order to stop this he sent Hathor as
the eye to stop them. This is the massive blood-bath that Hathor is often associated with.
