The God Anuket
Anuket was a goddess and the personification of the Nile River in Egyptian mythology in the Levantine at the beginning of his journey in the Egyptian lands and in the regions near Nubia.
Name
In ancient Egyptian its name means "hugging" or "containing" and in Greek, it became nokis (Ανουκις) and corresponded to the Greek goddess Hestia or Vesta.
Worship
Anakat was part of a triad with the God Khnum and the goddess Satis. She may have been a sister of the goddess Satis or she may have been the secondary wife of the God Khnum instead, and Anaket was depicted as a woman with a headdress of erect feathers (which most Egyptologists believe to be a detail derived from the Nubian culture), usually holding in her hand the symbol of Ankh, and had a sacred animal which was a deer.
A temple dedicated to Anakat was erected on the island of Sohail, and inscriptions indicate that a shrine or altar was dedicated to her in this place by the Pharaoh Sepik-hotob III of the thirteenth dynasty, and much later, during the reign of the Eighteenth Dynasty Amenhotep II dedicated a chapel and a temple to her.
During the New Kingdom, the worship of anaket in the two arts included a river procession of the goddess during the first month of the harvest season (Shmu), and inscriptions mention the festival procession of Khnum and anaket during this period.
