Egyptian myths can be slightly confusing, so brace yourself...

In a well known myth to those who are familiar with basic Egyptian myths is the myth of the Ogdoad, these were the 8 children (4 sets of twins) born of Thoth and his wife Ma'at, daughter of Ra, who was the personification of truth and justice.

But, in some Nomes (Regions) of Egypt, another wife of Thoth was the goddess Seshat, who was his 'counter-part' as goddess of the written word.

I've tried to keep this a s simple as possible, so sorry if I ended up confusing you ...

There are two answers.

In some instances, Seshat is said to be his wife.

But Seshat is also sometimes considered to be his female counterpart OR daughter.

In another, Ma'at is considered his wife, though Ma'at is more a concept in this instance than a Goddess. His 'Marriage' to Ma'at may be symbolism for his being 'devoted to Justice/Truth'.
