| ENT_EGY_ANHUR | Anhur | Egyptian | God | War Deity | war; hunting; sky; solar | A | God of war and hunting, whose cult centre was Thinis (This) in Upper Egypt; later also worshipped at Sebennytos in the Delta. Name means "He Who Leads Back the Distant One," referring to the myth in which he fetches the Eye of Ra (or the lion-form of Tefnut) from Nubia. In the New Kingdom Anhur was increasingly identified with Shu (his name compounded as Anhur-Shu), and both shared the role of upholding the sky. He was patron of the Egyptian army and later identified by Greeks with Ares (Onuris). Primary sources: Pyramid Texts, New Kingdom Theban royal inscriptions.
