sun's rays), became the cat goddess, the patroness of the domestic cat
and the home. She is often seen in human form with the head of a cat and

Bes
|
|
Bes means
"dancing". The patron god of pregnant women. The Egyptian
dwarf god who guards against evil spirits, snakes, and misfortune. He is
a god of human pleasures, music, and dance. Bes was usually pictured
full face (often nude, with prominent genitals). He was shown to be ugly
and grotesque in appearance, with a large head, protruding tongue, bow
legs and the ears, mane and tail of a lion or cat. He bore a plumed
crown and wore the skin of a lion or panther. Despite his appearance, he
was a beneficent deity and his appearance was meant to scare off evil
spirits. He bore swords and knives to ward off the evil spirits, as well
as musical instruments which he used to create a din which would
frighten them off. Bes was the protector of children and of women in
labor, and aided the hippopotamus goddess Taweret in childbirth. |

Osiris
|
| He was the first child
of Geb and Nut. Osiris, (a tall, handsome, charismatic man) succeeded
his father Geb as the reigning power of Egypt when Geb retired into the
heavens. He married his sister, the beautiful Isis, when he became king.
He civilized the Egyptians, persuaded them to give up cannibalism, and
taught them farming, and the pleasures of music, and provided them a
legal code to live by. His evil brother Set, who was as ugly as he was
evil, and who hated his handsome brother because Osiris had fathered a
child with Set's wife, Nephthys (another sister!) gathered many allies
and planned how to kill Osiris. Set hosted a banquet ostensibly to honor
his brother. After much food and much wine, Set had a beautifully ornate
chest brought into the room and said it would go to the person who best
fit within it. When it was Osiris' turn to try and he had climbed in,
Set and his toadies slammed the lid shut and welded it tight with lead.
Osiris suffocated, the chest was thrown into the Nile, and Set became
king of Egypt. |
