Hathor was imprisoned in a sarcophagus in South America. In 1997, a pair
of archeologists, which she killed before heading for the Stargate, discovered
her. She has the ability to breathe an organism that renders men highly
susceptible to her suggestion and "drunk" with her beauty --
but the base's women remained unaffected. After her attempts to take over
the S.G.C. and use its personnel as her new Jaffa was thwarted, Hathor
escaped through the gate and continued to build a new army. She enlisted
Horus and Serpent guards, as well as other Goa'uld, luring them from the
remote outposts of various System Lords. Hathor's intention was to quietly
gather her forces before the System Lords even knew she had been freed
from her prison on Earth, in order to move against them. In 1999, Hathor
kidnapped Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson and Samantha Carter and brought
them to a replica of the S.G.C. facility, attempting to convince them
that they were some 80 years in the future. Her goals were to probe their
memories to learn as much about the System Lords as possible, so that
she might plot against them. Hathor also possessed stealth technology,
allowing her to become completely invisible. She is believed to be dead,
after Colonel O'Neill tossed her into a cryogenic freezing chamber. Myths of Hathor: Her other Names are Het-Hert, Hetheru and Bast, and she is the patron of the sky, the sun, the queen, music, dance and the arts, and she looks like a cow bearing the sun disk between her horns, or a woman in queenly raiment wearing the sun disk and horns on her head. Later on, she begin to look like a woman with a cow's head. Hathor is identified with many local goddesses, and it can be said that all the goddesses were forms of Hathor. At times we find her playing the role of a sky-goddess, a sun-goddess, a moon-goddess, a goddess of the east, a goddess of the west, a goddess of moisture, a goddess of fertility, an agricultural goddess, and a goddess of the underworld. Hathor was the goddess of joy, motherhood, and love. She was considered the protectress of pregnant women and a midwife. She was the patron of all women, no matter their station in life. As the goddess of music and dancing her symbol was the sistrum. As a fertility goddess and a goddess of moisture, Hathor was associated with the inundation of the Nile. In this aspect she was associated with the Dog-star Sothis whose rising above the horizon heralded the annual flooding of the Nile. In the legend of Ra and Hathor she is called the "Eye of Ra." In later times, when the Osiris cults gained popularity, her role changed. She now welcomed the arrival of the deceased to the underworld, dispensing water to the souls of the dead from the branches of a sycamore and offering them food. Hathor was also represented as a cow suckling the soul of the dead, thus giving them sustenance during their mummification, their journey to the judgement hall, and the weighing of their soul. In the Late Period, dead women identified themselves with Hathor, as men identified with Osiris. Hathor's cult is unusual, as both men and women were her priests (most deities had clerics of the same gender as they). Many of them were artisans, musicians, and dancers who turned their talents into creating rituals that were nothing short of works of art. Music and dance were part of the worship of Hathor like no other deity in Egypt. Hathor herself was the incarnation of dance, and stories were told of how Hathor danced before Ra when he was in despair to cheer him up.Inspiration was also Hathor's bailiwick, and many would come to the temples of Hathor to have their dreams explained or to beseech her for her aid in creation, much in the same way the Greeks invoked the Nine Muses.
