1574 ENT_EGY_NEITH received_as ENT_ATHENA high Herodotus explicitly equates Neith with Athena in two passages: at 2.28 he identifies the goddess of Sais as Athena, and at 2.59 he names the great festival at Sais as belonging to Athena (= Neith). The equation is supported by shared attributes: both are warrior goddesses associated with weaving, wisdom, and craftsmanship; both have the owl as a sacred animal in some traditions; both are depicted with shield and spear. The famous inscription at Sais — "I am all that has been, and is, and shall be, and none among mortals has yet uncovered my robe" — was transmitted to the Greek world through this Neith-Athena identification. The identification is one of the best-documented Egyptian→Greek deity equations in the ancient sources. SRC_HERODOTUS_HISTORIES reviewed PER_EGY_LATE_PERIOD
