In the religion of ancient Egypt, Hathor was the goddess of women, the sky, fertility, and love. The worship of Hathor dates back to the early dynasty period. Hathor, which translates to "estate of Horus," may not have been her given name. She was closely linked to motherhood and her primary animal form was that of a cow. Hathor had an intimate relationship with Heliopolis' sun deity Re, whose "eye" or daughter she was believed to be. She was revered with Horus at her cult center in Dandarah, Upper Egypt.

Many communities in Egypt and other countries had cults of Hathor since she was the patroness of distant regions and a variety of minerals that were extracted from the desert. For instance, in the turquoise mines of Sinai, she was referred to as the "Lady of Turquoise." She was named the "Lady of the West" and patroness of the area of the dead at Dayr al-BaαΈ₯rΔ« in the Theban necropolis. While males wanted to become Osiris in the next world, women in the Late Period (1st century bce) wanted to be fused with Hathor. The Greeks equated their Aphrodite with Hathor
