In ancient Egyptian religion and mythology, Taurt (also called Taweret, Thoueris, Opet, or Apet) was the hippopotamus goddess associated with childbirth and maternity. In her capacity as a goddess of creation, she was worshipped at the city of Karnak. Taurt, as Apet, was the personification of the ancient settlement Apt, from which the name Thebes was derived. Taurt was usually portrayed as a female hippopotamus standing upright, with large and pendulous human breasts, her left foot resting on a sa, a symbol of protection for river travelers. She was considered to be a form of the fertility goddess Hathor.
