Astarte and the Sea (also pAmherst IX or simply the Astarte Papyrus) is an Egyptian hieratic tale, dating from the New Kingdom, which relates a story about the goddess Astarte and her rival Yam.[1][2] Though Astarte and Yam appear to have originated as Canaanite deities, both were, at times, worshipped in Egypt, as well.[3][4]
