Het-Heru
Greek: Hathor
An ancient cow-goddess, at various times taking on the role of Great Mother and consort of Ra [read: Gaia], protector of Heru (hence her name, "House of Heru), and goddess of love. Her head formed the handle of the powerful ancient rattle known as the sistrum, used to frighten away evil spirits.
She was the goddess of love, but when Ra called, she turned into the vengeful Sekhmet.
She was also the Queen of the Heavens, after Aset. The wife of Horus she took an active role in the fight against Set and his minions. Also known as the Warroir Goddess she was fierce in battle when Sekhmet, but when she was herself, she used the more subtle approach, seduction.
