Astarte was actually a warrior goddess of Canaan and Syria

In the Egyptian pantheon her prime association is with horses and chariots.

In her iconography her aggression can be seen in the bull horns she sometimes wears as a symbol of domination.

In her Levantine homelands, Astarte is a battlefield goddess.

She was the daughter of Re and the wife of the god Seth, but also had a relationship with the god of the sea - Yamm.

It should also be noted that outside of Egypt, as well as being a warlike goddess, Astarte seems to have had sexual and motherhood attributes.
