Bast was the cat headed goddess of pleasure in egypt. she was identified by the Greeks with Artemis, probably through confusion with the lioness goddess Tefnut.
She was, to begin with a lioness heaed goddess, but was changed to a cat due to the confusion with Tefnut and Sekhmet. She became the wife of Ptah due to confusion with Sekhment, who was also the wife of Ptah. she had secondary forms like pekhet.
She loved music and dance, also due to her kindness protected people against disease and evil spirts. she wore a long richly decorated robe and carried a lion head breastplate.
