Template:Hiero In Egyptian mythology, Sopdet was the goddess of fertility, associated with the star, Sirius. When Sirius appeared in the sky in July, the Nile River began flooding and so the ancient Egyptians naturally connected the two. In Greece she was known as Sothis. Sopdet was regarded as the consort of Sah, who was the constellation of Orion, and their child the planet Venus. She was later merged with Isis.ca:Sopdet de:Sopdet fr:Sothis nl:Sopdet fi:Sothis
