(為什麼一家都是神呢?前篇請參考
我們一家都是神

繼Heret海琍之後,我們家又增添了一位小女娃,在她還在我的肚子裡的時候,就已經開始想名字了.
本來覺得“英文Heret,中文海琍"已經是我們取的最棒的名字,很難再找到差不多棒的...
不過還真佩服自己找名字的功力,小女兒的名字也是來自埃及神祇Maat,掌管真理及正義的女神,我們取了她的希臘拼法Mayet,中文叫敏琍,剛好是兔年出生的敏捷小兔子,筆畫還跟海琍一模一樣,是個快樂指數95%的好名字哩!

取名Mayet的由來:

Máat in Greek
Mayet
Maát (also Mait) stood for the good spiritual ideals and human behaviour and was patroness of moral, harmony, justice, truth and cosmic order. She was in the funeral cult and Osiris court of Justice where she put her ostrich feather in the scale of balance with the heart of the deceased. If he had been living according to her norms the heart was light and he would pass, if not the heart was eaten up by the evil monster Ammut. Máat was depicted as a woman, and in her hair she wore the feather of truth (its name was Máat). Sometimes she was kneeling with outstretched arms like wings. In the New Kingdom many pharaohs took her name into theirs and stated to lived according to her rules. She helped Re to navigate his solar bark upon the sky and her masculine counterpart was Thoth.

這個是Heret的由來:
Hathor in Egyptian also
Het, Hert, Heret
The cow goddess Hathor (Athyr in Greek) was an old protector of music, dancing and love. Being a cow she was the wife of the sacred bull Buchis of Armant personifying fertilty and motherhood. As such her popularity was unbroken during the whole Egyptian history. She and Horus protected the royal couple and she attended at the arrival of the dead king into the next world. On top of pillars she was seen as Heret - a woman's head (inserted left) with a cow's ears. In the Old Kingdom the pharaohs were often shown with Hathor at their side.
Sometimes she was combined with Isis as Isis-Hathor with a woman's head (picture left) and her favourite musical instrument - a sistrum rattle, upon her head. One of the still standing temples of her cult is at Dendera in Upper Egypt.
