Hieroglyphic inscriptions, Temple of Kom Ombo

[majestativa]

Night—cold and silent night! Cedars of Solomon, Oaks of Teutates; you cloud-divers, you Seance-recorders; magi, seers, sorcerers, Terrible men; refuges, forests, solitudes; Ombos where scholars live in hollow tombs […] Sleep—the dim intersection between dream And chasm, the white vent of apparitions; Germs, avatars, nocturnal incarnations Where angels fly away but monsters wallow; Death, nature’s black bridge between star and star, Through which human communicates with heaven; Colossus of Minerva Apteros.

VICTOR HUGO — Six French Poets of the Nineteenth Century, transl. by A.M. Blackmore & E.H. Blackmore, (2009)

Wall relief of the goddess Tefnut in the Kom Ombo temple (Ptolemaic dynasty, 180–47 BCE)

In ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, Tefnut (also spelled Tefenet, from the hieroglyphic phonograms t-f-n-t) was the goddess of rainfall; her name translates to something like ‘She of moisture’. She is depicted here with a lion’s head, crowned with the solar disk and uraeus serpent.

This relief is often erroneously identified as Sekhmet, a more well-known lion-headed goddess.
