Notable Stories Involving Him:
Humans are said to be created from his sweat and tears, while the pharaohs, referred to as Sons of Ra, were said to be manifestations of Ra on Earth. Upon learning that mankind was plotting against him, he sent Hathor-as-Sekhmet to punish them, but when she became too bloodthirsty and nearly destroyed humanity in the process, he pacified her with beer colored to look like blood. As god of the sun, he's said to possess a boat upon which he journeys across the sky each day and through the underworld each night.
