1464 Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN received_as Zeus Ammon 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).

1466 Zeus ENT_ZEUS received_as Zeus Ammon ENT_SYN_ZEUS_AMMON high Zeus as the Greek partner in the Zeus-Ammon syncretism; Herodotus (2.42) makes the identification explicit. The Zeus-Ammon figure inherits Zeus's supreme deity status and Olympian authority in the syncretic complex.
