Amun

God of Thebes, "Lord of the throne of Egypt, Master of the Apts (Karnak)", whose name Manetho read as "concealed" — "He whose name is hidden is Amen". Herodotus says "the Egyptians call Zeus 'Amon'" and explains his ram's head with a story of Heracles; Plutarch agrees that Amoun is the Egyptian Zeus; the Karnak hymns make him king and father of the gods.
