Ma'at Goddess of Truth & Justice from Egyptian Mythology is a fascinating member of the Egyptian Pantheon. She is a rare case in Egyptian mythology in that she was both a person and an idea.   

As Ma’at played the strange half role between goddess and ideology in the Egyptian pantheon, this meant she had very few temples dedicated directly to her. Despite this however, she was present in almost every element of Egyptian mythology
