Before the Great Flood came and marked the end of the divine age, Re had basked in the favor of the Mother of the Gods, Hathor. Although she was his own mother, Hathor could also be looked upon as the "Daughter of Re" and even as the "Eye of Re." The eye makes for a rich metaphor, then as it does now.
Antes de que viniera el Gran Diluvio y marcara el fin de la edad divina, Ra había gozado del favor de la Madre de los Dioses, Hathor. Aunque ella era su propia madre, Hathor también podría ser considerada como la "Hija de Ra" al igual que el "Ojo de Ra." El ojo constituye una rica metáfora, entonces como lo es ahora.
