Description
Often depicted as a cow, or a woman with the head of a cow, Hathor was the Goddess of Motherhood and Fertility. She was worshipped passionately by women, and it was believed that she would keep them safe during childbirth.

Over time, her myth fell in popularity, as Isis became a more important figure in society. But she remained relevant until the fall of Egyptian civilization. The temple complex of Dendera is home to the most famous Temple of Hathor.
