Qetesh - Egypt - Also known as Qadesh and Kadesh, was a goddess of sex (rather than fertility), who is thought to have originally been a Semitic god, from Chaldean mythology, adopted into the Egyptian pantheon at a later date. Having been adopted into Egyptian belief, it was decided that Qetesh, as the goddess of sex, should be the mother of Min, the god of fertility, and thus sexual prowess. Although, for obvoius reasons, she was a popular goddess, she eventually became considered an aspect of Hathor, who had by that time became a goddess of pleasure.
Qetesh - Egyptian - Was a Goa'uld who once possessed the body of Vala Mal Doran. An Underlord of Camulus, Qetesh ruled over at least one world, P8X-412, where she forced the inhabitants to mine the planet's sparse Naquadah deposits. When quotas were not met she instituted both mass executions and mass torture. The Tok'ra eventually capture Qetesh, forcing the symbiote out of the body of Vala Mal Doran. Qetesh was likely killed when extracted. (Prometheus Unbound, The Ties That Bind, The Powers That Be)
