SEKHMET: THE LIONESS HEADED GODDESS OF UPPER EGYPT.

In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet, was originally the warrior goddess as well as goddess of healing for Upper Egypt, when the kingdom of Egypt was divided. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. She is also known as the “lady of slaughter” because in her aspect as the “eye of Ra” she stained the battlefields red with the blood of humans. It was said that her breath formed the desert.

❝ But Athena, eyes bright, taking Ares in hand, called the violent god away with: “Ares, Ares, destroyer of men, reeking blood, stormer of ramparts, why not let these mortals fight it out for themselves? Let Zeus give glory to either side he chooses. We’ll stay clear and escape the Father’s rage.” ❞ ― Homer, The Iliad
