Talk:Hathor

Oversimplification

This entire sentence is not only uncited but also over simplifies the diversity of Neopaganism: "Some Neo-Pagans have recently adopted Hathor as a goddess." Now if it had mentioned Kemetic reconstructionism, or something similar with cited sources maybe it wouldn't be such a problem. Xuchilbara 02:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Pronunciation

Would someone kindly provide a pronunciation of Hathor? Thanks! Robert K S 05:41, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

According to her Encyclopedia Mythica entry, it's "hat'hor". --Redeagle688 00:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

In Tutenstein and Stargate SG-1 the name is pronounced "Hah-Thor (Hah, like in Ha-ha, and Thor, like in the Norse god).Tutthoth-Ankhre (talk) 20:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it is pronounced Hat-Hor. It means "House (that is wife or family) of Horus". --75.181.67.130 (talk) 15:26, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Mining Music?

It says that Hathor is the goddess of "love, beauty, motherhood, foreign lands, mining music." Is she really the goddess of "Mining Music?" Or is it supposed to be "mining, and music"? --Brainhelljr (talk) 04:10, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Redirect?

Meh redirects here. Is that needed? DemonThing 06:34, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, its a name she was known under. It is one of the various transliterations of the various spellings of the Egyptian word for beloved. --Victim of signature fascism 22:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

What about the 'Meh' used as an interjection? pixels 18:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Isn't this considered vandalism?

(This has made certain readers believe that the sun god was extremley perverted, which may be true)

under Fertility Goddess.

I removed "She was beautiful i miss her vagina around my cock" from the article. This was posted from IP 76.0.31.207. This is a clear case of Vandalism. --Damnedmage 11:36, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Jul 12 2008 Undid a vandalism edit originating from 76.179.213.201. Same IP looked like as a prior in 2007 reverted by cluebot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.75.183.81 (talk) 15:21, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Hathor in article

Hi I would like to use certain parts of this Hathor article in an article that possibly will be published in an academic bulletin. I used certain parts, but I also found out other sources on which this article is based in Wikipedia (for instance Bleeker 1973: Hathor and Thoth and Pinch 1993: Vorive offerings to Hathor.

Should I refer to Wikipedia beside my own "official" references?

Questionable statement

"Adherents of Ganesh at his Dublin shrine firmly believe Hathor to be the elephant god's arch enemy." Not only is this unsourced, but the whole underlying idea of it, considering that Ganesh is a Hindu god, makes me wonder if it should be treated as outright vandalism. --Redeagle688 00:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I removed a part that said that as a goddess of fertility she "readily strips naked", which seems totally innapropiate and might have come from someone who laughs nervously at the mention of "fertility".

In the article it states that Horus was belived to be the son of Hathor. In truth he was the son of Isis. This can be attribued to Hathor being idendfied with Nephysis, who was the twin sister of Isis, but is still not technically true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eternalsiara (talk • contribs) 22:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Very nicely composed article

The way this article is constructed is really nice.

Hathor in popular culture

Eternal X, one of the biggest Marathon's total conversions to date, has a major "goddess-like" AI character that goes by the name of Hathor. Is such reference acceptable for this article?

JohnnyTheWolf (talk) 18:02, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I too was wondering why there isn't a popular culture section on this page, since she does appear in a number of places in computer games, TV shows etc. --Dr DBW (talk) 21:53, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Another example is an episode of Stargate SG-1 --MikeZ (talk) 21:02, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

She with two faces

I think that "She with two faces" refers to Hathor's other form, Sekhmet. Two faces would mean two personalitys, the duel "faces" of love a creation, and terror and destruction. But is this original reasaerch? Tutthoth-Ankhre (talk) 16:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Removal

Removed this

"In time, more evidence may be uncovered, but it is a strong enough theory that it should be mentioned here. Archaeologist Marija Gimbutas is an important pioneer in the advances made in understanding history of matriarchal cultures."

Because it doesn't add to the article and isn't in an encycleopedic tone.--24.255.171.220 (talk) 20:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
