Question

It’s not Pazuzu, but this deity was regarded as the patron of wind demons who fired arrows from their mouths. To be healed, people would whisper prayers to this deity into the ears of animal mummies left next to this deity’s statues.

(-5[1])It’s neither Bast nor Ptah, but Taremu (10[1])was a cult center for both this deity and this deity’s child Maahes. To stop a rampage, this deity was tricked into consuming what appeared (-5[1])to be (10[1])blood, but was actually alcohol. (10[1])This deity was sometimes regarded as the wrathful aspect of the peaceful cow-headed goddess Hathor. (-5[1])For 10 points, what Egyptian goddess of war had the head of a lion?
