Bastet "From the 3rd millennium BC, she is depicted as either a fierce lioness or a woman with the head of a lioness.[5]The lioness was the fiercest hunter among the animals in Africa, hunting in co-operative groups of related females. Originally she was viewed as the protector goddess of Lower Egypt; also seen as defender of the pharaoh, and consequently of the later chief male deity, Ra, who was also a solar deity, gaining her the titles Lady of Flame and Eye of Ra." @Wikipedia.org
