The Perfect Beauty of Hathor
"In Egypt, the physical ideal of an erotically beautiful woman was one
blessed with the heavy thighs of (the goddess) Hathor. Prayers have been
found in which women beseech Hathor to bestow large hips and thighs upon
them. Burial rituals included a prayer chanted by the embalmer that the
deceased's face be made the most perfect among the gods, and her thighs the
heaviest among the goddesses."
