    Horus, he was an Egyptian god and I think his symbol was the hawk. I might be wrong...

    Another Egyptian god associated with the hawk is Ra.

    This site adds Horus, Khensu, Ptah, Mentu, Rehu, Sokar & Keghsenuf to the list, as well as Circe and Apollon.

    Among the Hellenic pantheon, Hera also has an association with hawks, as does Hermes, according to this short summary of gods at Theoi.com:

    Well, Horus is the most obvious one that comes to mind. He's the Hawk-headed Egyptian God, son of Osiris and Isis. (the Egyptian trinity was Father, Mother, Son)
