Menhit Goddess of Warfare
Menhit was a lion goddess and a war goddess from Nubia. Her name means "he who sacrifices," but she was also known as "the butcher." As a war goddess, she led the pharaoh's forces into battle.
She was also believed to advance Egyptian armies and kill their enemies with fiery arrows, similar to other war goddesses. Menhit was combined with several other deities, most notably Sekhmet, Wadjet, and Menhit.
She is depicted as a woman with a lion's head wearing a solar disk and a Ureas (snake). She was associated with Neith (an ancient goddess of war) at Esna and was also compared to the "Eye of Ra" (especially Tefnut, Sekhmet, or Hathor).
In Upper Egypt, she was worshiped as the wife of Khnum and the mother of the sorceress-god Hekka. In Lower Egypt, she was worshiped in association with Wadjet and Neith, two patron deities of Lower Egypt.
She was worshipped in the divine lands of abydos in her central cult and the delta region as a protective goddess with Wadjet and Neith. She was believed to be the embodiment of the eyes of Ra who hunted and returned by Onuris.
