- The goddess Hathor was generally associated with love, music, and fertility. The particular form of the amulet here alludes to her role, both dangerous and protective, in the myth of the destruction of mankind. In this story humans revolted against the gods. In response, the sun god sent out one of his eyes in the form of a cobra to destroy mankind; the eye is identified with Hathor. This dangerous aspect of the goddess was used only against enemies or other forces that threatened world order. The manifestation of Hathor as an uraeus (rearing cobra) can be seen as an image of divine protection. The amulet was likely meant to put its wearer under the protection of the goddess and her appearance as a cobra was probably thought to be particularly effective in warding off danger.
