Isis is sometimes depicted with a cow headdress. In Greek mythology there was not a cow-headed goddess per se, but the queen Io was transformed into a white heifer by Zeus to conceal her from his jealous wife Hera. But in Egyptian mythology there was a cow-headed goddess named Hathor, and she was a goddess of love.
