Question

This god grasps a tambourine in his tail in a stelae held at the MoMa that was discovered within one of his namesake incubation “chambers” from the Ptolemaic dynasty. Isis implies that Horus was raised by a “sow” and this god in the Metternich stelae, which depicts the god above Horus. Snakes are strangled and bitten by this god in his demonic guise as Aha (“ah-HAH”). It’s not Osiris or Shu, but a plumed ostrich headdress adorned the head of this god, whose protruding tongue may have inspired the gorgon’s face. This god was originally depicted as a rearing (*) lion. (10[1])The Phoenecians named the island of Ibiza after this god. The thighs and pubic areas (-5[1])of prostitutes, dancers, and musicians could feature tattoos of this god, whose ability to “scare off” evil (10[1])associated him with everything (10[1])good. For 10 points, Taweret is often depicted alongside what potbellied, dwarven god (10[1])of childbirth? (10[1])■END■ (10[2]0[3])
