    Hatshepsut

    The Divine Birth scene proclaimed Hatshepsut’s relationship with the god-Amun as daughter and father. On the relief, the god Amun took form of Thutmose II. As a pharaoh, he was wearing royal regalia- the crown and false beard. Amun held an ankh- symbol of eternal life to queen Ahmose’s nose so she could breathe in and conceive Hatshepsut, and below them are the gods who supported the pregnancy. This is an example of religious propaganda and helped to legitimise Hatshepsut's claim to the throne as it showed that she was the divine conception of Amun, who was the highest god. The Divine Birth story would influence the people of Egypt into supporting Hatshepsut because of her proven divine birth.…

    Thoth: The Cosmogony Of The Feminist

    Thoth was best-known and worshipped in Hermopolis, though this city had a cosmogony of its own (David 88). In this cosmogony, Thoth was considered to be a minor creation god as he was the leader of a group of eight gods, called the Ogdoad (Budge 113; David 88). A bronze statue from the Late Period of Thoth with the smaller eight around him has been made as evidence of worship and acknowledgment of this myth even until later times (Silverman 35). This group originated from Khmun, one of the locations of Thoth’s cult centers (Wilkinson 78). The Ogdoad consisted of four male-female pairs: Nun and Naunet, Heh and Hauhet, Kek and Kauket, and Amun and Amaunet (David 88; Wilkinson 78). Each pair stood for a different aspect of primordial creative…

    Bastet Was The Cat Goddess In Ancient Egypt

    Gods and goddesses in Egypt were one of Egypt’s most important beliefs. While there are many ancient Egyptian gods and goddess, Bast otherwise known as Bastet, is one goddess that really stood out. Bastet is a goddess that has a cat-like head and a human body. Her head looks somewhat like how a housecat’s head would look. People often see her with a knife to represent her fight with the serpent, Apep. The people of Egypt believed she was the protector of Egypt. Other people thought she was the giver of blessings to the good and thought she was the protective goddess of women and family. Since she is the cat goddess if a cat died it would be counted as a crime against her. Some people thought if they wore amulets with…

    What Is Hatshepsut's Role In Ancient Egypt

    The ancient Egyptians strongly believed in a natural order and balance called Ma’at. One woman however, went against this order. Hatshepsut was the daughter of the Pharaoh Thutmose I, and eventually claimed the throne as queen, but the only other heir to Pharaoh was her younger, half-brother, and it was a duty that needed filling. Evidence would suggest this would’ve been a very difficult job to accomplish for a woman and she seems to have taken considerable actions, including the claim that she was the offspring of a god, to convince the people of her divine kingly status and achieve a peaceful, successful reign.…

    Connla The Fair Analysis

    By dictating a king’s right to rule, the goddess figure is effectively in full control of a mortal’s elevation achieved by becoming a rightful ruler. This mediation between royal authority and the divine by a woman figure is well explained in the “Transcendence for All” chapter of Goddesses Who Rule, which states that “the goddess of sovereignty then bestows her gifts on all who are worthy, transforming what is limited, mortal, and human into what is beyond death, blessed, god-like” (Benard, 258). A key aspect of the sovereignty goddess is the great power associated with her volition. In this story, the mere act of her choosing Connla has significant consequences for his mortal existence. After having had only two brief encounters with the mystical female visitor, Connla claims that “longing for the woman has seized” him (490). The true extent of the power associated with her decision appears when Connla chooses to abandon all that is known to him as a result. Moreover, the language she uses to describe Connla makes the royal aspect of his being salient, and thus suggests that sovereignty forms the basis for her particular choice. As evidence for this, she states that, “the fair crown that sits above thy ruddy countenance is a token of thy royalty” (489). Thus far, all of the evidence discussed seems to point the woman’s association with deciding rightful sovereignty as an example of her facilitation in the process of transcendence. However, by stating that she speaks for the immortals who “call on” Connla and “summon [him] to the people of Tethra” (489), the un-named woman suggests that she carries out the will of these divine beings. Thus, the idea of this woman as the goddess of sovereignty in this story…

    The Incredible Woman Analysis

    In the novel The Edible Woman, author Margaret Atwood tackles the difficult subject of anorexia nervosa. Although this subject is often handled with kid gloves by many writers, Atwood’s novel candidly addresses how different food related stigmas affect the main character’s day to day existence. In the late 1960's, young women faced a society that expected them to conform to certain qualities in both appearance and demeanor. The portrayal of young women in popular movies, television and music of the time period led to internal conflicts among women who struggled to achieve the norm put forth by society. Young women everywhere were convinced they needed to look and act like Marcia Brady and turn into Carol Brady even if meant sacrificing their…
