Aswan - Temple of Hathor

Located on the east side of the island of Philae, this temple was builtduring the Ptolemaic period but decorated under Augustus with amusing carvings of music and drinking, for Hathor was a symbol of fertility whose worship was often accompanied by merry-making. The Greeks identified him with Aphrodite, the goddess of Love.
