Goddesses associated with Isis  Isis with Nefertari  Isis was
closely associated with Hathor. In fact, the two goddesses are
often so alike in appearance that only the hieroglyphic
inscription can confirm which of them is actually depicted (as
in the depiction of the goddesses with Queen Nefertari, above).
Both Hathor and Isis were linked to the star Spica (in the
ancient constellation which was centered around the modern
constellation of Virgo) because the star first appeared around
harvest time. A further link is provided by the fact that when
Horus chopped of Isis´ head (because Isis would not strike the
fatal blow against her brother Set) she responded by causing the
head of a cow (one of the most common forms of Hathor) to grow
in its place. She was also associated with Nut who also took the
form of a cow and was associated with the sycamore tree.  Isis
