Question

In one text, this deity gives compliments such as “how beautiful are thy buttocks, how flourishing,” to another deity as part of a seduction plot. This god, whose 72 allies included Queen Aso, is depicted receiving offerings of wine on the Year 400 Stela. To reach a compromise with this god, a goddess often conflated with Athena offers him the foreign goddesses Anat and Astarte as wives. This god cut the talons off his servant Nemty (10[1])after he ferried a goddess to a meeting on an island. This god loses a race after his opponent tricks him into making his boat out of stone. (10[2])After cutting his brother into 14 pieces, this god fights (10[1])to rule Egypt in a series (10[1])of “contendings” with his nephew Horus.
