| Sopdet | CMa | Sothis |
The exact pronunciation of ancient Egyptian is uncertain, as vowels were not recorded until a very late period. In modern transcription, her name usually appears as Sopdet (Ancient Egyptian: Spdt, lit. "Triangle" or "Sharp One") after the known Greek and Latin form Sothis (Greek: Σ?θις, S??this). The word "sophitication" in Latin and Modern Eglish derive from her name. She had a reputation of seducing kings, killing them in the act, then dividing their kingdoms In Babylon, she was famous for being the goddess of prostitution. She appears in the Bible as "Ashtoreth" with King Solomon, and "Ishtar" with King Nebuchadnezzar, and is likely involved in the youthful death of Alexander the Great under the name "Sothis". She also went by the name of "Isis" in Egypt.
