Here's the beginning of my entry into this challenge... pretty early on so far, but i wanted to open up my post...
I chose he Egyptian goddess Sekhmet
http://www3.sympatico.ca/rklawitter/challenge/sekhmet01.jpg
and a little description of her from http://www.cybercomm.net/~grandpa/chapter11.html
"A sun-goddess, Sekhmet is also the lion goddess and her worship was centered in Memphis. Her name means 'powerful'; she was portrayed as either a lion or a woman with the head of a lion, often holding an ankh or sistrum. When Ra grew angry at the whinings and complaints of humankind, he ripped out one of his eyes and hurled it at the earth; this eye changed in flight to an avenging goddess, Sekhmet, who ravaged the earth, sucking blood from the peoples, and almost totally wiping out humankind before a remoseful Ra could stop her."
