Neith, one of the most ancient deities in the Egyptian pantheon, was worshiped from the Predynastic period through the Greco-Roman period. She represented war, hunting, weaving, and wisdom and was typically depicted as a woman donning the Red Crown of Lower Egypt. Her primary cult center was located in Sais, a city in the Nile Delta.
As the Goddess of Creation and Weaving, myths state that Neith reweaved the world daily on her loom. During the Greek rule in Egypt, Neith was syncretized with Athena, the Greek deity of war and weaving.
Neith was also considered the mother of Sebek, the crocodile god. Consequently, she was frequently shown nursing a baby crocodile, earning her the title "Nurse of Crocodiles."
Several hymns and prayers found on papyri celebrate Neith as a goddess of war and wisdom. These hymns reflect her significant role and veneration in the ancient Egyptian religion.
