| | Nephthys (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Later Nepthys was identified as the goddess Anuket, associated with the source of the Nile, and so, as also a funerary goddess, she became considered protector of Hapi, one of the Four sons of Horus, specifically the deification of the canopic jar containing the lungs, the organ that suffers most from drowning. |
 | | Metaphorically, her hair was compared to the strips of cloth which shroud the bodies of the dead, and professional mourners became referred to as the Hawks of Nephthys. |
 | | Also, in later myth, it was said that a sexually frustrated Nepthys disguised herself as Isis to appeal to Set, but he did not notice her as he was gay, but Osiris, Isis' husband, did, resulting in the birth of Anubis. |
