  Neith: Goddess of the Beginning, the Beyond, and the End
It is in the funerary mode that Neith is depicted at her most fierce, shooting arrows at the evil spirits that would attack the deceased, either in the tomb or during the passage through the underworld [26].
Clair maintains it is this realm Neith personifies, for she is the complete sky which surrounds the upper (Nut) and lower (Nunet?) sky, and which exists beyond the horizon, and thereby beyond the skies themselves.
Neith, then, is that portion of the cosmos which is not seen, and in which the sun is reborn daily, below the horizon (for the statement assigned to Neith is "I come at dawn and at sunset daily").

Neith published four critically acclaimed books between 1900-1910, dozens of short stories in major magazines through 1920, and plays that are once again being assessed as crucial to an understanding of the development of "New Theater" in America.
Largely ignored as a writer after the 1930s, Neith was "rediscovered" in the 1970s for her involvement with the women thinkers of Greenwich Village in the early years of the 20th century.
Recent biographies of her friend, Susan Glaspell, show that Neith, along with others, was instrumental in the new strategies of voice, staging, and theme that invigorated American theater in the 19-teens.

 The Ancient Egypt Site - Neith
Neith is a goddess of presumed Lower-Egyptian origin, whose most important cult centre was located at Sais, in the Nile Delta.
The meaning of her name has been a point of discussion: it may mean "the one who belongs to the Red Crown", confirming the importance of Neith in Lower-Egypt, or "the one who belongs to the (primeval) floods", which would qualify her as an aquatic goddess.
The latter interpretation could also explain Neith's motherhood of the crocodile god Sobek, as well as her rather unique creation myth, in which she is described as the personification of the primaeval waters out of which the entire creation was born.
