Sekhmet

deity:sekhmet

Sekhmet — the lioness-goddess of war and plague. In the tale of the Destruction of Mankind, Ra looses her to slaughter rebellious humanity, and she revels in blood past stopping; only when the gods flood the fields with beer dyed red as blood does she drink, grow drunk, and sleep — and the remnant of mankind is spared. War and pestilence in one form, barely restrained. — Egyptian myth
