268 Hathor ENT_EGY_HATHOR paired_with Sekhmet ENT_EGY_SEKHMET medium Hathor and Sekhmet overlap in solar/lioness goddess transformations. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
279 Shesmetet ENT_EGY_SHESMETET paired_with Sekhmet ENT_EGY_SEKHMET medium Shesmetet overlaps with lioness/fierce protective goddess traditions. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
280 Bastet ENT_EGY_BASTET paired_with Sekhmet ENT_EGY_SEKHMET medium Bastet and Sekhmet are linked through feline protective goddess traditions. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
1572 Ptah ENT_EGY_PTAH spouse_of Sekhmet ENT_EGY_SEKHMET high Ptah and Sekhmet form the divine couple of the Memphis Triad (Ptah–Sekhmet–Nefertem). Sekhmet ("the Powerful One") is Ptah's fierce consort and the lioness goddess of war and pestilence; their pairing unites the creative/craftsman principle (Ptah) with the destructive/protective force (Sekhmet).

2097 Pakhet ENT_EGY_PAKHET reception_of Sekhmet ENT_EGY_SEKHMET high Pakhet (Pꜣḫt, "She who Scratches") is a lioness war-goddess of Middle Egypt closely identified with Sekhmet; the Greeks equated her with Artemis (cf. the Speos Artemidos shrine at Beni Hasan). Wilkinson, Complete Gods, p. 178. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS approved  
2359 Apedemak ENT_MER_APEDEMAK aligned_with Sekhmet ENT_EGY_SEKHMET high Apedemak and Sekhmet are both lion-headed war deities whose core function is military violence and the destruction of enemies in divine service to royal power. Though Apedemak developed independently of Egyptian lion deity traditions (Žabkar demonstrates he is not borrowed from Sekhmet), the functional and iconographic parallel is striking: both are lions who guarantee military victory, both are associated with the pharaoh/king as divine warriors. The alignment is cross-traditional and structural rather than an ancient explicit equation. Žabkar (1975) pp. 35-40; Török (1997) p. 470. Louis V.
