Hathor was the protector of women and men also worshipped her.

Hathor is a famous ancient goddess, highly loved and worshipped throughout Egypt, starting from the 3rd millennium BCE. She was the goddess of motherhood, love, joy, fertility, dance, and beauty. She was also in charge of welcoming the dead spirits to the afterlife, Hathor was a sky goddess, along with Nut. That’s why she was connected to the sky, movement of planets, birth, and rebirth after death. 

She was sometimes depicted as a cow or had a cows head or wearing cows horns.

Being one of the important deities in ancient Egypt, one legend has stated that god Ra has unleashed Sekmet to destroy humanity as a punishment for their wickedness. Sekmet has already destroyed most of humanity until she drank red beer, thinking it was human blood. She passes out and woke up as Hathor, completely the opposite of her former self. That’s why Hathor is considered the goddess of joy and drunkenness.

Another legend has stated that Horus got furious with his mother, Isis during his conflict with his uncle, Set, and cut her head during her sleep. When she woke up, she put on the first head she found which was a cow’s head. That story originated during the new Kingdom, where people worshipped Isis and Hathor as one goddess.
