HATHOR.
HATHOR. Egyptian goddess of sexual love and music. She was originally
the mother of the sky god Horus and so mother of the king who
was identified with Horus. She was later regarded as the daughter of
Re and wife of Horus. She is depicted as a cow or human figure with
the ears of a cow or wearing a crown with the horns of a cow. Her
principal place of worship was Dendera, but she also had connections
with such desert and foreign areas as Serabit el-Khadim,
where she was worshipped as the lady of turquoise. She is also associated
as a protective deity with the necropolis area of Thebes
