22 Zeus Ammon ENT_SYN_ZEUS_AMMON syncretized_with Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN high Zeus Ammon fuses Amun/Ammon with Zeus. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
186 Amun-Ra ENT_EGY_AMUN_RA syncretized_with Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN high Amun-Ra combines Amun and Ra. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
1465 Zeus Ammon ENT_SYN_ZEUS_AMMON reception_of Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN high Zeus-Ammon as the Greco-Egyptian reception of Egyptian Amun; identified with Zeus by Herodotus (2.42); the ram's horns of the syncretic figure are Amun's attribute. Plutarch, On Isis and Osiris (De Iside et Osiride, c. 100–120 CE) SRC_PLUTARCH_ISIS_OSIRIS reviewed Classical Period PER_GRK_CLASSICAL
1569 Mut ENT_EGY_MUT spouse_of Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN high Mut as the divine consort of Amun and mother of Khonsu in the Theban Triad; her name means "mother"; originally a primordial mother goddess who was later integrated as Amun's principal wife in the Middle Kingdom Theban theology. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed New Kingdom PER_EGY_NEW_KINGDOM
2099 Wosret ENT_EGY_WOSRET paired_with Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN high Wosret ("The Powerful One") was Amun's primary female consort at Thebes before Mut displaced her in the Middle Kingdom; she appears in early 12th Dynasty royal names alongside Amun. Wilkinson, Complete Gods, p. 148. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS approved  
2268 Aten ENT_EGY_ATEN opposes Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN high Akhenaten's Amarna revolution was in part directed against the powerful Amun priesthood at Thebes; Aten as sole deity replaced Amun, and Akhenaten had Amun's name excised from monuments. The theological opposition is historically documented. Wilkinson (2003) pp. 236-240. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
2430 Amunet ENT_EGY_AMUNET spouse_of Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN medium Amunet is the female counterpart/spouse of Amun in the original Hermopolitan Ogdoad theology. This pairing predates the New Kingdom Theban triad (Amun-Mut-Khonsu) in which Mut displaces Amunet as Amun's primary consort; Amunet retains an independent cult at Karnak and the original Ogdoad pairing. Confidence medium: the Amunet-Amun pairing is older but is complicated by Amun's later theological elevation and Mut's displacement of Amunet in Theban state theology. Wilkinson (2003) pp. 148-150.
