Abstract

Dendera is the modern name of the ancient town iwnt . During the late period, the epithet U -ntnt (meaning 'of the goddess') was added to distinguish it from similarly named places. The form lwnt-tj-n[rt is the direct ancestor of the Greek TEViupa and Coptic N)TNTO'pe and modern Dendera. Dendera lies on the edge of the Western Desert (on the western bank of the Nile), 60 kms to the north of Luxor and 4 kms to the north west of Qena. It was the capital of the sixth Nome of Upper Egypt, this Nome extended from just south of Qena to Hu, including both sides of the Nile. Its importance lies in the fact that it was the main cult center for the goddess Hathor who is identified by the Greeks with the goddess Aphrodite.' 1 Egyptian Egyptologists presented many studies on Dendera texts in different ways such as: (1) Doctorate Degrees Zeinab El-Kordy was a pioneer in the field of studying Greco-Roman temple texts; she conducted her PhD research, in French, on the 'Crypts of the Dendera Temple: An archaeological and Religious Historical Study'2 12 under the supervision of Professor F.
