She was said to be the creator and governor of the universe and the inventor of child-birth. She was the goddess of the cosmos, fate, wisdom, water, rivers, mothers, hunting, weaving, and, originally, war.
The inscription on Neith’s temple in Sais in the Nile Delta (now modern Sa el-Hagar) read:
I am all that has been, that is, and that will be. No mortal has yet been able to lift the veil that covers me.
Neith was the tutelary deity of Sais (Coptic: ⲥⲁⲓ Sai from Egyptian Zau) in the western Nile Delta of Lower Egypt, where her cult was centered. It is attested as early as the First Dynasty. Neith was also one of the three tutelary deities of the southern city of Latopolis (Koinē Greek: Λατόπολις) or Esna (Snē) (Sahidic Coptic: ⲥⲛⲏ from earlier Egyptian: t3-snt, also iwnyt). Latopolis was located on the western bank of the River Nile some 55 kilometres (34 mi) south of Luxor (Thebes). She was associated with Athena, and was said to have migrated from Libya to build her temple at Sais in the Nile Delta.
