“This tale
of an ancient hunter's fate to recapture the goddess of devastation in order to
save Egypt is particularly beautiful.” THE TRUTH ABOUT BOOKS
|
This story first appeared as a tale within a novel in the archaeological
adventure thriller ‘The Smiting Texts’, but is released here in a separate edition
for lovers of mythology and ancient romance.
Hathor-Sekhmet was the
goddess with two faces, one, Hathor, the Sweet One, goddess of sexual love,
joy, music and intoxication, the other, Hathor-Sekhmet, the terrible lioness of
annihilation, sent by Ra to destroy humankind for their rebelliousness.
In her marauding stage they called
her The Confused One in the Night.
Were there times when Hathor slipped
from one state to another? One phase, goddess of love, shining in her beauty,
and the next a wild and dreadful lioness of destruction? What would it have
been like to come across Hathor, the young woman, and not know that she hid
another side?
