Nephthys, Egyptian Goddess of the Night and Protectress of the Dead

AI image of Egyptian goddess, Nephthys.

Perhaps one of the most mysterious and elusive deities of the ancient Egyptian pantheon, Nephthys was known as the shadowy goddess of the night, of death and decay. She was the dark sister of Isis, wife of Seth, mother to Anubis, and a member of the Great Ennead of nine, the first gods, those who reigned supreme. Like many goddesses, she was of otherworldly beauty, often displayed with majestic wings, symbolizing her relationship to the hawk or kite and her protective nature.

Her true name was Nebthwt, represented in the crown she wore atop her head, the house and basket. These hieroglyphic symbols translate to “Lady of the House,” or more appropriately, “Lady of the Temple.” As such, her image can be found at sacred sites, carved into the pylons that protect the inner sanctum. She was the protector of the body as well, portrayed along with her sister in tombs and on sarcophagi. Together, they were often depicted as guardians of the head and feet, standing at either end of a funerary bier. As complimentary opposites, they both ensured the dead would be mourned and their afterlife successful.

A Captivating Family Drama

As a fourth-generation goddess, Nephthys was born from the sky, Nut, and the earth, Geb. Alongside her were Osiris, Seth, Isis, and the elder Horus. Osiris ruled over Egypt with his wife, Isis, and in perfect opposition, Seth wed Nephthys. Though, it was not an ideal marriage. After all, Seth was the god of chaos and storms, whose thoughtless actions cause irreparable damage. Presumably, their marriage was never consummated, as Plutarch refers to the wife of Typhon (Seth) as, “an imitation of a woman,” barren and unfertile like the desert.
