1464 ENT_EGY_AMUN received_as ENT_SYN_ZEUS_AMMON high Zeus-Ammon (Ζεὺς Ἄμμων) is one of the earliest and most documented cases of interpretatio graeca: Herodotus (2.42, c. 450 BCE) explicitly identifies Zeus with the Libyan-Egyptian Amun, noting that the Egyptians "call Zeus Amun." The Oracle of Ammon at Siwa was visited by Croesus, consulted by Cimon, and most famously by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE (who used the identification politically to claim divine parentage). Pindar composed a hymn to Ammon (fr. 36). Plutarch (De Is. ch. 9) also discusses the identification. The syncretic figure Zeus-Ammon was then depicted as Zeus with ram's horns (Amun's attribute).
