Hathor, the "Mistress of the West", in Egyptian mythology
Since Ra's earthly manifestation was the Mnevis bull, the three of Anubis as son, the Mnevis as father, and Hesat as mother, were identified as a family triad, and worshipped as such.
The name of the month comes from Hathor, the Ancient Egyptian Goddess of Beauty and Love.
In TT4 Nefertari is said to be Qen's dear and always favorite sister, Lady of the house and favored one of Hathor.
She has appeared in a number of American television shows and theatre productions Just Shoot Me, Prowler, FX-the series and the sci fi series Stargate SG-1 in which Braun played goddess Hathor.
