| 1460 | ENT_EGY_ANUBIS | received_as | ENT_SYN_HERMANUBIS | high | Hermanubis (Ἑρμάνουβις) fuses Anubis and Hermes in their shared role as psychopomps — guides of the dead to the underworld. Anubis's Egyptian function (weighing souls, conducting the dead to Osiris's judgment) and Hermes's Greek function (psychopomp, conductor of souls to Hades) are functionally identical, making the fusion natural in Greco-Egyptian religious synthesis. Plutarch (De Is. ch. 61) mentions Hermanubis; the figure appears throughout Greco-Egyptian papyri and material culture. | SRC_PLUTARCH_ISIS_OSIRIS | reviewed | PER_GRK_HELLENISTIC |
