ancient Egyptian cat goddess. At first a goddess of the home, she later became known as a goddess of war. The center of her cult was at Bubastis. Her name also appears as Ubast.
Bast, also spelt Bastet, Baast, Ubasti and Baset, was an ancient Egyptian goddess and was often thought of as a protector of the pharaoh. In some later myths she was regarded as the protector of Ra, the ancient Egyptian sun god, as well. She was depicted in some myths and statues to be a lioness-goddess and in others a domestic cat-goddess. As Egyptian mythology progressed she was almost unanimously regarded as the latter.
Bast's perception changed quite a bit throughout the centuries so it is hard to find a set of facts about Bast that everybody agrees on.
