9.Satis The goddess of the flood

dark

Satis was an Upper Egyptian goddess who, along with Khnum and Anuket, formed part of the Elephantine Triad. A protective deity of Egypt's southern border with Nubia, she came to personify the former annual flooding of the Nile and to serve as a war, hunting, and fertility goddess.

Satis was usually pictured as a woman in a sheath dress wearing the hedjet, the conical crown of Upper Egypt, with antelope horns. She is sometimes depicted with bow and arrows; holding an ankh or scepter; or offering jars of purifying water. She also appears in the form of an antelope. Her symbols were the arrow and the running river.

As a warrior goddess, she protected the pharaoh and the southern borders of ancient Egypt and in her role as a goddess of fertility she caused the inundation and purified the deceased with water from the underworld (the mythical source of the Nile).

Her most important role was as the goddess of the inundation (yearly flooding of the Nile). According to myth, on the “Night of the Teardrop” Isis would shed a single tear, which was caught by Satis and poured into the Nile, causing the inundation. As a result, she (like Isis) was linked to Sothis, the personification of the star Sept (Sirius A, the “Dog Star”) which rose in the sky just before the arrival of the inundation every year.

Thank you for telling the story of Satis.

废柴小曾

    萨提斯是上埃及的女神，她和赫纳姆和阿努克特一起组成了象岛三神（Elephantine Triad）的一部分。作为埃及南部与努比亚边境的保护神，她象征着尼罗河一年一度的洪水，并作为战争、狩猎和生育女神。

    萨提斯通常被描绘一个穿着紧身连衣裙的女人，穿着上埃及的圆锥形皇冠，戴着羚羊角。她有时被描绘成弓和箭；手持脚杖或权杖；或抱着装有净水的罐子。她也以一只羚羊的形式出现。她的象征是箭和流水。

    作为战争女神，她保护法老和古埃及的南部边界，作为生育女神，她引发洪水，并用地下世界（神话中尼罗河的源头）的水净化死者。

    她最重要的角色是作为洪水女神（带来每年尼罗河的洪水）。根据神话，在“泪滴之夜”，伊希斯会掉下一滴眼泪，被萨蒂斯抓住，涌入尼罗河，造成洪水淹没。因此，她（和伊希斯一样）与索西斯联系在一起，索西斯是九月星（小天狼星A，“狗星”）的化身，每年在洪水到来之前在天空中升起。

The story of the Sarthys goddess is interesting and rich. As an important goddess in Egyptian traditional culture, her figure embodies the good faith and bright yearning of Egyptians.
