Egyptian Gods listed in alphabetical order

Egyptian God Possible Greek/Roman Equivalent(s) Other
Anubis
  • Since Anubis is the god of the dead, his Greek equivalent would be Hades. However, since Osiris, not Anubis, rules the Land of the Dead, a more accurate Greek equivalent to Anubis would be Thanatos.
  • In Ancient Rome, Anubis was combined with Hermes (since both play a part in leading the souls of the dead) and this combined deity was called Hermanubis
Apophis
  • His Greek equivalent is Typhon, the Father of All Monsters.
  • His Norse equivalent might be Jormungandr the Midgard Serpent. Apophis is said to encircle the world, much like Jormungandr, the Midgard Serpent of Norse Mythology; he is also an immensely powerful force of evil and Chaos.
Bast
  • Bast is identified as Artemis by the Greeks.
  • She was also named "Ailuros" by the Greeks.
Geb
  •      Geb can be identified as the primordial goddess Gaia in Greek mythology.
Hathor
  • In some Greek myths, rather than Io becoming Isis, some stories state that when Hera chased Io with a swarm of wasps and hornets she fled to Egypt and became Hathor, since Hathor is often associated with a cow.
Heket
  • Her Greek equivalent is Eileithyia, goddess of childbirth and midwifery.
Horus
  • Ares is Horus' Greek equivalent, although Horus is more disciplined and less aggressive.
  • He is more similar to Mars, the Roman god of war and discipline, and both are referred to as 'The Avenger.'
  • His Norse equivalent would be Odin, as they are both gods of war.
Isis
  • Some historians and philosophers link Isis to the Greek consort of Zeus; Io. Some stories stating that when Hera chased Io with a swarm of wasps and hornets she fled to Egypt and became Isis. However, other stories have her become Hathor, instead.
  • Isis's Greek equivalent is Hecate, Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena
  • Isis's Roman equivalent is Trivia (Hecate, however, claims to be exactly the same as Trivia), Juno, Venus, and Minerva
