They fulfilled a variety of functions including guardians of the dead, providers of sustenance, harbourers of rebirth, bringers of plaque, healers and casters of spells. Focusing on the great goddesses of ancient Egypt: Hathor, Sekhmet, Isis and Nut this course will examine how their images change over time and the myths which underpin their manifestations.
