Egyptian texts often speak of the manifestations of the goddess as "Seven Hathors" [10] or, less commonly, of many more Hathors—as many as 362. [12] For these reasons, Gillam calls her "a type of deity rather than a single entity". [11] Hathor's diversity reflects the range of traits that the Egyptians associated with goddesses.
The mythology or religion of most cultures incorporate a god of death or, more frequently, a divine being closely associated with death, an afterlife, or an underworld. They are often amongst the most powerful and important entities in a given tradition, reflecting the fact that death, like birth , is central to the human experience.
Maahes (also spelled in Greek: Mihos, Miysis, Mios, Maihes, or Mahes) (Greek: Μαχές, Μιχός, Μίυσις, Μίος, or Μάιχες) was an ancient Egyptian lion-headed god of war, [1] whose name means "he who is true beside her".
Nephthys was typically paired with her sister Isis in funerary rites [2] because of their role as protectors of the mummy and the god Osiris and as the sister-wife of Set. She was associated with mourning, the night/darkness, service (specifically temples), childbirth, the dead, protection, magic, health, embalming, and beer.

[5] Since the songs are reflections on death, rather than being part of the rituals associated with burial, freer expression of thoughts is encountered in these texts.
