Small Thoth Statue | |
|
Originally named
Tehuti by the
Egyptians, Thoth was
given his better
known name by the
Greeks. They linked
him with their god
Hermes, and like
Hermes, he was
considered to be the
god of wisdom,
writing and
invention. He was
also the messenger
and spokesman of the
gods and finally the
lord of the moon. He
is represented as a
man with the head of
an ibis, which is
often crowned by the
crescent moon
supporting the full
moon disk. He often
holds a writing
palette. The baboon
is also sacred to
him, for in
Hermopolis, he merged
with the local baboon
god Hedj-wer. Thoth
invented the arts and
sciences, music, and
magic, and was the
god of learning, but
above all, he was
famed for being the
creator of
hieroglyphs, and was
known as “the lord of
holy words”. As the
god who invented
writing, he was the
protector of scribes.
Thoth was
occasionally
described as the
tongue or heart of
Ra. As the god of
magic, he was
called “the elder”.
Here, Thoth stands
carrying the ankh in
one hand and
the “waas” scepter in
the other.
