Hathor (clay creation)
A depiction of Hathor using the ankh to input the power of life into human clay figures (see: clay creation myth) made by the god Khnum on his potter's wheel, which is one of the oldest origin of life theories.
In Egyptian mythology, Hathor (Greek rescript: Aphrodite; Roman rescript: Venus), from Hat- “House, domain, or temple” + -Hor “Horus”, aka House of Horus (Ѻ), is the mother goddess and or goddess of love, worshiped from c.3000 BCM to 400 ACM, often depicted as a cow, conceptualized as the sky (see: destruction of mankind), or a cow goddess with horns; she is the daughter of Ra, and in ancient times, prior to the rise of popularity of the Osiris legend, she was considered the mother of Horus, after which Isis became the mother of Horus, wherein Hathor was relegated to role of a protective mother like figure of Horus as well as all Egyptian pharaohs.

Milky Way
In astro-theology, Hathor was conceptualized as being symbolic of the Milky Way star constellation, which was thought to be mirrored as the Nile River on earth, her amniotic fluid breaking forth at birth, thought to be played out as the annual Nile River flood and the “birth of the sun” or Horus (or Ra) as sun god, or something to this effect (Ѻ); the following is the Egyptian view of Hathor as the Milky Way conceptualized such that the sun, either as Horus or Ra, depending on period, is going through her body, at night, only to be reborn in the morning:

Christianity
The rescript of Hathor into the Judaeo-Christianity story is a bit elusive (Ѻ); but generally she becomes the power of love or life, or something to this effect, in the sense of her as Eve meaning "breath or spirit" in Hebrew (Massey, 1907) (Ѻ) .
