Large Sekhmet Statue | |
|
Egyptian Museum,
Cairo XXVI Dynasty,
600 B.C.
Together with her
husband Ptah and her
son Nefertem, Sekhmet
made up the Memphis
Triad. Her name
meant "The Mighty
One". Her nature
being that of a
Goddess of War, she
accompanied the King
to battle and was
often described as
his mother. She
spread terror
everywhere; the
henchmen of Seth and
even the serpent
Apophis succumbed to
her. Sekhmet was
represented as a
lioness or as a woman
with lion's head. Her
weapons were
arrows "with which
she pierces hearts"
and a fiery glow
emanated from her
body. The hot desert
winds were regarded
as the Goddess's hot
breath. She was
connected with the
fire-spitting Uraeus
of the King and
thereby became
the "Eye of Ra".
Sekhmet was also
regarded as the
one "Great of Magic"
whose knowledge of
sorcery gave her a
place in the service
of healing.
