BANEBDJEDET

The Egyptian ram god has a name meaning ‘the Soul Lord of Mendes’. Mendes, in present-day Tell-el-Ruba in Egypt, had its own cemetery for the burial of sacred rams. Banebdjedet was the god to whom god-judges appealed when Horus and Set struggled for possession of the throne. He was partial to Set who he felt should win since he was the elder brother of Horus. Banebdjedet is the consort of Hatmehyt.
