Sekhmet

Sekhmet

Sekhmet, depicted as a lion-headed woman (with the solar disk on her head after the New kingdom period), was a powerful protective goddess who formed the triad of Memphis with Ptah and Nefertem. She was thought of as the goddess of healing, and her priesthood may be regarded as the first community of doctors. Sekhmet also had dangerous aspects which come to the fore in the myth of the destruction of mankind, where it is her function to strike down those human beings who rebel against the sun god. Her warlike nature is also evident in her support of the king in every battle against his enemies
