Which ram-headed god was the patron of the city of Mendes? Banebdjedet was the ram-headed Egyptian god whose cult centre was the city of Mendes.

Mendes was an important city in the eastern Nile Delta, known in ancient Egyptian as Djedet. Its name Per-Banebdjedet meant “Domain of the Ram Lord of Djedet,” showing how closely the city and its chief deity were connected. Banebdjedet’s consort was Hatmehit, a fish goddess who may have been Mendes’s original local deity.

Together with their child, Horus the Child, they formed the Mendesian Triad. Banebdjedet could be represented as a ram, a ram-headed man, or a figure with four ram heads. The four heads were associated with the four bas, or spiritual manifestations, of the sun god and could also be linked with the primordial rulers Osiris, Geb, Shu, and Ra-Atum.

Banebdjedet appears in the New Kingdom story of the dispute between Horus and Seth. Asked to help judge the succession, he proposed that Seth receive the throne because Seth was the elder brother, while diplomatically referring the matter to the goddess Neith. Khnum was his Upper Egyptian counterpart, which helps explain why Khnum is a tempting but incorrect alternative.
