Wepset

Attestations identify Wepset in Egyptian sources as the personification of the uraeus (the rearing royal cobra) and as an Eye of Ra. She is mentioned in the Coffin Texts as "the Eye" and appears in New Kingdom texts where she destroys the enemies of Osiris. Textual references also mention a temple on the island of Biga (no archaeological structure confirmed). These attestations place her within Egyptian solar and kingship-associated cultic and funerary literature as a feminine, protective/destructive manifestation rather than providing a narrative 'origin' tale.

Primarily depicted as a cobra (the uraeus). In the Greek and Roman period she also appears in anthropomorphic composite forms — as a woman with a lion's head or as a woman bearing the uraeus or a sun disk on her head — emphasizing leonine ferocity and solar association.

Personified uraeus-protector of kings: as the living royal cobra she functions as a protective, aggressive power attached to kingship. As one of the Eyes of Ra and named "she who burns," she embodies a solar/fiery destructive force. New Kingdom texts explicitly describe her destroying the enemies of Osiris, aligning her with the class of feminine, often violent, divine instruments that execute the sun-god's or divine order's will.
