﻿ The Multi-talented 'Hathor'



Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as “Mistress of the West” welcoming the dead into the next life. She was represented as a cow, or as a woman with cow's horns with the solar disk nested between them. In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth. In a complicated relationship Hathor is at times the mother, daughter and wife of Ra and, like Isis, is at times described as the mother of Horus, and associated with Bast. And Hathor's name was also spelled 'Athor'.



Hathor was one the oldest and most beloved goddesses in ancient Egypt. She was the universal cow goddess and a symbolic mother of the pharaoh. Her image had been found, carved on early flint implements, and her cow head is prominent on the Narmer Palette. When Hathor appeared as a cow-headed woman, she was crowned with the sun disk resting between her cow horns. The goddess Hathor is represented in many different ways.
