Petbe

Petbe

In Egyptian mythology, Petbe was the god of revenge, worshiped in the area around Akhmin, in central Egypt. His name translates as "Sky-(Egyptian soul Ba)", roughly meaning "Soul of the Sky", or "Mood of the sky". However, Petbe may instead be a Chaldean mythology "semitic deity" introduced by immigrant workers from the "Levant", with his name being a corruption of the [Hybrid word hybrid phrase "Pet-(Ba'al)", meaning "Lord of the sky". Early Christians compared Petbe to the Greek God Cronus.
