1468	ENT_EGY_HATHOR	received_as	ENT_APHRODITE	medium	Herodotus (2.41, c. 450 BCE) explicitly equates Aphrodite with Hathor, noting that "what the Greeks call Aphrodite Urania, the Egyptians call the same goddess Isis." The identification rests on shared domains (love, beauty, music, dance, fertility) and the sacred cow (Hathor's primary animal; Aphrodite's connection to Cyprus where cattle sacrifice was prominent). Plutarch (De Is. ch. 57) also discusses the identification. Note: this adds an Egyptian source for Aphrodite alongside the Canaanite Astarte chain already in the DB — both Hathor and Astarte contributed to the Aphrodite complex.
