HATHOR

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 53 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HAN-HEG
HATHOR , whose name means "
house
  of
Horus
 ,' was at all times a very important deity. She is depicted as a cow, or with a broad human countenance, the cow's ears just showing from under a massive wig. Probably at first a goddess of the sky, she is early mentioned in connexion with Re. Later she was often identified with Isis, and her name was used to designate
foreign
  goddesses like those of Puoni and Byblus. Unlike most
cosmic
  deities, she was worshipped in many localities,
chief
  among which was
Dendera
 , where her magnificent
temple
 , of Ptolemaic date, still stands. " The seven Hathors " is a name given to certain fairies, who appeared shortly after the
birth
  of an infant, and predicted his future.
