A
Mythic Novella.
Author’s note: 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.
“This
tale of an ancient hunter's fate to recapture the goddess of devastation in
order to save Egypt is particularly beautiful. Wonderfully clever and original.”
THE TRUTH ABOUT BOOKS
“Great
reading” 5 ***** stars, AMAZON US
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?
