| Neith, Misstres of the bow | Neith is a goddess of Lower Egypt particularly associated with Sais but soon incorporated into the national pantheon with a sanctuary at Memphis. According to legend Neith emerged from the primeval water to create the world. She followed the course of the Nile to the sea, and when reaching the Delta she formed the city of Sais. In the New Kingdom she was regarded as the “god’s mother who bore Re,” whereby she assumed the position of a primeval goddess who was neither male nor female. She was the first to “create the seed of gods and men.“
