=Hathor - Goddess of Love=

Hathor the goddess of love, was the women with cow's horns or the " Great Wild Cow", she also had a sun disk between the cow horns, and also in her hands she either held a //was// or a papyrus sceptor. Hathor's home was the papyrus thicket, in which the papyrus was sacred to her, hence the papyrus sceptor.

Hathor's name means “house of Horus,” referring to a myth in which Hathor, as a cow, stood on the earth so that her four legs became pillars holding up the sky, while her belly formed the heavens. Horus, the sky God, would enter her mouth every evening in the form of a hawk, and come out, or reborn each morning. Hathor was one the gods worshiped at Heliopolis. Her main temple was at Dendera. The most important of the temple's many festivals was the celebration of Hathor's birth, which took place on the advent of the new year. The festival was an occasion for unrestrained reveling, in honor of the goddess of merriment. The Greeks identified Hathor with their goddess Aphrodite. __**Bibliography:**__
