ANUKET
Egyptian River Goddess
Also known as Ankhet, Ankt, Anouke, Anukit, Anuqet
River Nile Goddess of water purification
Anuket keeps the waters of the Nile clean with fresh fertilization. Consequently she’s a very important Goddess to the Egyptians. She’s also good on the defense — she carries a spear and doesn’t hesitate to make her point.
As far as family life is concerned, Anuket is one corner of a love triangle involving her dad Khnum and sister Satet. They’re known as the Triad of Elefantine, but it’s really more a ménage à trois.
