Mythology

In Ancient Egypt she was also called Bast; a Cat-headed Goddess of Domestic Cats, the Home, Pleasure, Joy, Family, Music, and Dancing. Her main center of worship was the city of Bubastis (modern Tell-Basta). As the daughter of Ra, she was a solar deity. However, she became a lunar deity after the Hellenistic era when she was associated with Artemis. She is usually depicted as a domesticated cat, although she is sometimes depicted in the war-like aspect of a lioness (Sakhmet). She was the Goddesses of the East, while Sakhmet was the Goddess of the West. Bastet is often depicted wearing green and holding a sistrum (an ancient percussion instrument) in her right hand.
