hey, I’m trying to find a name for one of my OC’s in a mmo I’m playing, and I’m wondering if you know any good mythological figures (females if possible) who represent war/destruction etc…? Not the “famous” ones like Athena or Enyo if I can call them like that? :)

mythaelogy:

I definitely do, often “not famous” mythological figures come from lesser known mythologies & war goddesses from lesser known mythologies are my specialty

• Ishtar, Mesopotamian goddess of love, war and sexuality (the same goddess is worshipped as Astarte in Assyria & Innana in Sumeria if you like those names better) 
• Sekhmet, Egyptian lion-headed goddess of war 
• Bastet, Egyptian goddess of warfare in Lower Egypt
• Eris, Greek goddess of chaos, strife & discord
• The Hysminai were the descendants of Eris, personifications of battle
• Nike, Greek goddess of victory 
• Bia, Greek personification of force & energy
• Ixtab, Mayan goddess of suicide
• Kali, Hindu goddess off all-destroying time 

• Tlazoltéotl, Aztec goddess of filth, sin & purification

• Dzovinar, Armenian goddess of sea, water & rain; her fury was known to cause extreme storms or drought & she was likely the mother of the war god Vahagn
