Sekhmet

Sekhmet
Sekhmet is one of the goddesses in ancient Egyptian mythology, represented in the form of a lady with the head of a lioness sitting on a throne decorated with the symbol of the unification of northern and southern Egypt, and in her left hand the key of life (ankh), or standing holding a scepter of papyrus and on her head the sun disk and the serpent Oreos, and the center of her worship was in Memphis and she was the wife of Ptah and the mother of Nefertum, the goddess of the lotus, as they represented the Memphis triad (Ptah Sekhmet and their son Nefertum).
Sekhmet means strength, as she was called the Lady of War, the Great Lady, the Lady of the Earths, Upper and Lower Egypt, the Eye of Ra, the Titan, and the Beloved of Ptah.
The mythical story behind Sekhmet is that the ancient Egyptians believed that Ra, the sun god, was angry with humans for mocking him, so he sent Sekhmet to spit on them in order to kill these humans. However, Sekhmet enjoyed this task so much that she killed almost all of humanity. Here, Ra tricked Sekhmet by offering her large quantities of red beer, which resembled the color of blood. She drank from it and calmed down until she stopped killing.
