Egyptian divinities, (1) Those of Memphis were Phtha, Ra, Shu

and Tefnet, Seb and Nut, Osiris and Isis, Seth and Nephthys,

Horus and Hathor.

(2) Those of Thebes were Amen (Ammon), Mentu, Atmu, Shu and

Tefnet, Seb and Nut, Osiris and Isis, Seth and Nephthys,

Horus and Hathor, Sebek, Tennet, and Penit.

See _Encyc. Brit._, and authorities referred to in _C. 302_.

The following lists are genealogically arranged:

(1) Phtha, Seb, Ra;

(2) Amen, etc.

(1) _Phtha_ or _Ptah_: chief deity of Memphis; perhaps

of foreign origin. His name means the "opener," or the

"carver." He is called "the Father of the Beginning," and

as the prime architect, or artificer, recalls the Greek

Hephæstus. He is the activity of the "Spirit," Neph,

Chnuphis. He is represented as a mummy or a pygmy.

_Pakht_ and _Bast_: a goddess of two forms, lioness-headed

or cat-headed. At Memphis, Pakht was worshiped as wife of

Phtha; at Bubastis, Bast was adored as daughter of Isis.

_Nefer Atum_: worshiped at Heliopolis as the son of Phtha.

Like Osiris (see below), he is the sun of the underworld.

_Seb_: the father of the Osirian gods. He is the god of

earth and its vegetation; represented as a man with the

head of a goose; he corresponds with the Greek Cronus; his

consort was Nut.

_Nut_: wife of Seb, mother of the Osirian gods; the vault

of heaven; she may be likened to the Greek Rhea.

_Osi´ris_, or _Hesiri_: the good principle. Identified with

the vivifying power of the sun and of the waters of the

Nile. In general, the most human and most beneficent of the

Egyptian deities. He is the son of Seb (or, according to

some, of Neph, Chnuphis). He may be likened to the Greek

Apollo, as a representative of spiritual light; to Dionysus

in his vivifying function. He wages war with his brother

Seth (Set), the principle of Evil, but is vanquished by

him, boxed in a chest, drowned, and finally cut into small

pieces. His sister-wife, Isis, recovers all but one piece

of the body of O., and buries them. He becomes protector of

the shades, judge of the underworld, the sun of the night,

the tutelary deity of the Egyptians. He is avenged by his

son Horus, who, with the aid of Thoth (reason), temporarily

overcomes Seth. The myth may refer to the daily struggle of

the sun with darkness, and also to the unending strife of

good with evil, the course of human life, and of the life

after death. O. is represented as a mummy crowned with the

Egyptian miter.

_I´sis_, or _Hes_: the wife and feminine counterpart of

Osiris. Represented as a woman crowned with the sun's disk

or cow's horns, bearing also upon her head her emblem, the

throne.

_Ho´rus_, or _Har_: son of Osiris and Isis, who, as the

strong young sun of the day, avenges his father, the sun

of the underworld. He is Horus the child, Horus the elder

(as taking the place of his father on earth), or sometimes

Horus Harpocrates, the god of silence. As the latter, he

holds a finger to his lips. He may be compared with the

Greek Apollo.

_Harpoc´ra-tes_: see _Horus_

_Ha´thor_, or _Athor_: a goddess often identified with

Isis. She had the head of a cow and wears the sun's disk,

and plumes. Her name means "Home of Horus." She has

characteristics of the Greek Aphrodite.

_Seth_, or _Set_: the principle of physical, and later

of moral, darkness and evil. He is the opponent of his

brother, or father, Osiris. Represented as a monster with

ass's body, jackal's ears and snout, and the tail of a lion.

_Nephthys_: a goddess of the dead; the sister of Isis, and

wife of Seth. She aided Isis to recover the drowned Osiris.

_A´pis_: the sacred bull, into which the life of Osiris was

supposed to have passed. The name also indicates the Nile.

The bull Apis must have certain distinguishing marks; he

was treated like a god; and on his death (he was drowned

at twenty-five years of age) the land went into mourning

until his successor was found. He was worshiped with pomp

in Memphis.

See _Serapis_

_Sera´pis_ (or _Ser´apis_; see _Milton, Paradise Lost, 1,

720_): as Apis represents the living Osiris, so S. the

Osiris who had passed into the underworld.

_Ra_: originally the deity of the physical attributes of

the sun; but ultimately the representative of supreme

godhead. Worshiped through all Egypt, and associated with

other gods who are then manifestations of his various

attributes. He is the victorious principle or light, life,

and right, but rules over, rather than sympathizes with,

mankind. He is of human form, sometimes hawk-headed, always

crowned with the sun's disk. His Greek counterpart is not

Apollo, but Helios.

_Mentu_: Ra, as the rising sun

_Atmu_: Ra, as the setting sun

_Shu_: the solar light; son of Ra, Mentu, or Atmu

(2) _Ammon_, or _Amen_: "the hidden," a deity of the

Egyptian Thebes; generally associated in attributes with

some other god. As Amen-Ra he is the king of Theban gods,

the divinity of the sun. He is of human form; rarely

with a goat's head, as represented by the Greeks. He

corresponds to the Greek Zeus. As Amen-Khem he is the god

of productivity, and is represented with a flail in his

hand. His consort is Mut, or Maut, and their son is Khuns.

_Mut_, or _Maut_: the mother; the Theban goddess of

womanhood, wife of Amen-Ra. She corresponds to the Greek

Demeter.

_Khuns_: son of Ammon and Maut; a divinity of the moon. He

is sometimes hawk-headed; generally invested with the disk

and crescent of the moon.

_Neph_, _Chnuphis_, _Khnum_, _Num_, or _Nu_: the soul of

the universe; the word or will of Ammon-Ra; the creator.

Represented with the head of a ram.

_Khem, Chem_ (_cf._ Milton's _Cham_), called also _Min_:

the energizing principle of physical life. Associated

with both Ammon and Osiris. His counterpart in classical

mythology is Pan, or, as god of gardens, Priapus.

_Neith_: goddess of the upper heaven; self-produced;

mother of the sun; goddess, consequently, of wisdom, the

arts of peace and of war. Likened by the Greeks to Athena.

Worshiped in Lower Egypt as a woman in form, with bow and

arrows in her hand.

_Ma-t_: goddess of truth; her emblem is the ostrich

feather, which signifies truth. She is the wife of Thoth.

_Thoth_: the chief moon-god; characterized by his wisdom,

and his patronage of letters. Husband of Ma-t

_Anubis_: son of Osiris. Guide of ghosts

Hindu divinities: arranged logically as (1) Vedic, (2)

Brahmanic. For Buddhism see _Buddha_

(1) Vedic: the Aryan, and earliest form of Hindu religion;

dealing primarily with elemental powers that, in time,

acquired spiritual signification

_Vedas_: the Sanskrit scriptures; from root, to know, to be

wise; see p. 462.

_Devas_: the shining ones, the gods (Gk. _theos_, Lat. _deus_)

_Dyaus_: the shining sky, the elemental overruling spirit of

the primitive Aryans (Gk. _Zeus_, Lat. _Jovis_)

_Prithivi_: goddess Earth, spouse of Dyaus

_Indra_: son of Dyaus and Prithivi; the atmospheric region;

chief of the gods, and strongest; wielder of the thunderbolt,

lord of the plains, bull of the heavens, conqueror of the

malignant, thirsty Vritra, gatherer of clouds, dispenser of

rain; adored in heaven and on earth

_Varuna_: god of the vault of heaven (root _var_, to cover;

Gk. _Ouranos_, Lat. _Uranus_); the all-seeing, the pardoner,

merciful even to the guilty

_Ushas_: the dawn, mother of mornings, brilliant of raiment,

golden-colored, spreading far and wide, everywhere awakening

men, preparing the pathway of the sun, and leading his white

steed (Gk. _Eos_)

_Surya_: the god who dwells in the sun (Gk. _Helios_)

_Savitar_: the golden-handed sun in his daily course; the

shining wanderer, comforter of men

_Soma_: a deification of the spirituous "extract" of the

moon-plant; giver of strength to gods and men, and of radiant

light and joyous immortality

_Vayu_: god of the wind

_Maruts_: deities of the storm

_Agni_: the youngest and one of the most important of the

Vedic gods; lord of fire, born of two pieces of wood rubbed

together; youngest of the deities, giver of prosperity to

men, their guardian and companion, passing between heaven and

earth "like a messenger between two hamlets" (Lat. _ignis_;

_cf._ Gk. _Hephæstus_)

_Vach_: goddess of speech, teacher of spiritual worship,

promoter of wisdom and holiness

_Vritra_: the monstrous snake, drinker of rain-clouds, dark,

evil, and malicious, overcome by Indra (_cf._ Apollo and the

Python)

_Rakshasas_: powers of darkness, combated by Indra

_Yama_, and his sister _Yami_: the first man and woman;

leaving this life they prepared for those that should follow

them blissful abodes in the other world, of which they are

king and queen

(2) Brahmanic: a philosophical outgrowth of the Vedic

religion, which, on the one hand, was refined into logical

subtleties, intelligible only to the learned; on the other

hand, crystallized into symbols, rites, and unending

conventionalities

_Trimurti_: the Brahmanic Trinity, consisting of the

following three persons:

_Brahma_: in the Rig-Veda, a word for devotion, prayer;

later, for the supreme principle of the universe, its

source, its essence, and its sustenance. Brahma is the

_creative energy_ of the godhead, calm, passionless, remote

from man and the world. He is four-headed and four-handed.

_Vishnu_: originally a benevolent Vedic deity, with certain

attributes of the sun; adopted by a sect as its special

god, and then annexed by the Brahmans as a manifestation

of the supreme being in his work of _preservation_. He has

nine times assumed human form, each incarnation having

for its purpose the redemption of mankind from oppression

or error. These incarnations are his _Avatars_. His ninth

_Avatar_, say some, was as Buddha; in his tenth he will end

this world, and reproduce Brahma, who will create things

anew.

_Siva_: originally a bloodthirsty deity, not of the Vedic,

but of some aboriginal Hindu religion; absorbed in the

Brahmanic godhead as the manifestation of _destructive

power_. He is adorned with a necklace of skulls and

earrings of serpents.
