Astarte
The goddess appears to have been almost interchangeable with Anat. She was also associated with war (particularly with horse and chariots), and was thought to protect the king in battle. She was of Syrian origin, and there is no evidence of her cult in Egypt before the Eighteenth Dynasty (c.1150-c.1295 BC).
She was usually represented as a naked woman riding a horse and wearing the atef-crown or bull's horns on her head. She was variously regarded as the daughter of Re or of Ptah, and was thought to be one of Seth's consorts.
