Sopdet
Sopdet is an ancient Egyptian goddess associated with the star Sirius. Her name, meaning "she who is sharp" or "she who is keen," likely refers to the brilliant appearance of Sirius. Sopdet was primarily seen as the personification of the heliacal rising of Sirius, an event that marked the beginning of the inundation of the Nile River. This inundation was crucial for Egyptian agriculture, as it brought fertile silt to the land. Therefore, Sopdet was deeply connected to fertility, agriculture, and the renewal of life.
Her worship dates back to the Predynastic Period, indicating her ancient origins within Egyptian religion. In
