A goddess worshipped in the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis. She was the wife of the male god Ptah (god of the arts) and was considered one of the three gods of Memphis along with her son Nefertem. Sekhmet was depicted as a female lion and was said to represent plague, the strong rays of the sun, drought, etc., and was feared as a god who would help destroy humanity. She is sometimes called Sekhet.

古代エジプトの古都メンフィスで崇拝された女神。男神プタハ(技芸の神)の妻であり、子のネフェルテムとともにメンフィス三神とみなされた。セクメトは牝(めす)ライオンの姿で表現され、疫病あるいは太陽の強い光線、干魃(かんばつ)などを表すものとされ、人間の滅亡に手を貸すものとして恐れられた。ときにはセケトSekhetともよばれる。 [矢島文夫] [参照項目] | |第三中間期~末期王朝時代(紀元前1069~前664年ころ) ファイアンス 高さ5.5cmシカゴ美術研究所所蔵"> セクメト 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
