Hatmehyt (167 words)
Hatmehyt (or Hatmehit) was a fish-goddess worshipped in the Delta area, particularly in Mendes (Per-banebdjedet or place of Banebdjed).
The standard for the Nome was the symbol of a fish, confirming Hatmehyt as the pre-eminent deity of the area.
However, in later times her position was usurped by Banebdjed (an aspect of Osiris) who was considered to be her consort and was worshipped in the female form of Banebdjedet.
AERA - Hatmehyt: a goddess emerges (1091 words)
Although the hieroglyphs carved into the amulet are difficult to read and cannot be used to identify the goddess, she wears a headdress topped by a fish.
The fish is a key indicator of Hatmehyt, a goddess known as "Foremost of the fishes."
Hatmehyt was a local deity, native to Mendes in the 16th nome of Lower Egypt.
