Sekhmet's Vengeance

One of the earliest Egyption dieties Sekhmet is a Goddess of War and Destruction, but can cure disease and plague for those she favours. She is known as the "Lady of Terror" and the "Lady of Life". She is a Creative and Destructive force. She was born of the Sun who was born daily of Horus, son of Osiris and Isis.

When mankind mocked the god Ra, Sekhmet wiped out most of it for the insult.  For Ra to save the rest of mankind, he had to get Sekhmet drunk to stop her killing everyone.  She is personified with the head of a lioness and a body of a woman.
