<strong>Nephthys</strong> or Nebet-Het in ancient Egyptian (Greek: Νέφθυς) was a goddess in ancient Egyptian
religion. A member of the Great Ennead of Heliopolis in Egyptian mythology, she was a daughter of Nut and Geb.
Nephthys was typically paired with her sister Isis in funerary rites because of their role as protectors of
the mummy and the god Osiris and as the sister-wife of Set.<br>
She was associated with mourning, the night/darkness, service (specifically temples), childbirth, the dead,
protection, magic, health, embalming, and beer.

Nephthys is the Greek form of an epithet (transliterated as Nebet-hut, Nebet-het, Nebt-het, from Egyptian
nbt-ḥwt).The origin of the goddess Nephthys is unclear but the literal translation of her name is usually
given as <i>"Lady of the House"</i>, which has caused some to mistakenly identify her with the notion of a
"housewife" or as the primary lady who ruled a domestic household. This is a pervasive error repeated in many
commentaries concerning this deity. Her name means quite specifically "Lady of the [Temple] Enclosure" which
associates her with the role of priestess. <br>
This title, which may be more of an epithet describing her function than a given name, probably indicates the
association of Nephthys with one particular temple or some specific aspect of the Egyptian temple ritual.
Along with her sister Isis, Nephthys represented the temple pylon or trapezoidal tower gateway entrance to
the temple which also displayed the flagstaff. This entrance way symbolized the horizon or akhet. <br><br>
At the time of the Fifth Dynasty Pyramid Texts, Nephthys appears as a goddess of the Heliopolitan Ennead. She
is the sister of Isis and companion of the war-like deity, Set. As sister of Isis and especially Osiris,
Nephthys is a protective goddess who symbolizes the death experience, just as Isis represented the birth
experience. Nephthys was known in some ancient Egyptian temple theologies and cosmologies as the "Helpful
Goddess" or the "Excellent Goddess". These late ancient Egyptian temple texts describe a goddess who
represented divine assistance and protective guardianship.

Nephthys is regarded as the mother of the funerary deity Anubis (Inpu) in some myths. Alternatively Anubis
appears as the son of Bastet or Isis.<br><br>
As the primary "nursing mother" of the incarnate pharaonic god, Horus, Nephthys also was considered to be the
nurse of the reigning pharaoh himself. Though other goddesses could assume this role, Nephthys was most
usually portrayed in this function. In contrast, Nephthys is sometimes featured as a rather ferocious and
dangerous divinity, capable of incinerating the enemies of the pharaoh with her fiery breath.
