2,079 typed, source-backed relationships between entities. Each row records a directed relationship (subject → type → object) with a justifying source and rationale note. See relationship_types for the full controlled vocabulary of 70 relationship types. Key types: reception_of / received_as (transmission across traditions), equated_with (interpretatio graeca / analogues), parent_of (genealogy), member_of (collective membership), emanates_from (Gnostic/Neoplatonic structure).

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).

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.

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.

1467	Zeus Ammon ENT_SYN_ZEUS_AMMON	reception_of	Zeus ENT_ZEUS	high	Zeus-Ammon as the Greco-Egyptian reception of Zeus; the Olympian high-god identified with Amun by Herodotus; Zeus's divine sovereignty received into the syncretic figure.	Plutarch, On Isis and Osiris (De Iside et Osiride, c. 100–120 CE) SRC_PLUTARCH_ISIS_OSIRIS	reviewed	Classical Period PER_GRK_CLASSICAL
1468	Hathor ENT_EGY_HATHOR	received_as	Aphrodite ENT_APHRODITE	medium	Herodotus (2.41, c. 450 BCE) explicitly equates Aphrodite with Hathor, noting that "what the Greeks call Aphrodite Urania, the Egyptians call the same goddess Isis." The identification rests on shared domains (love, beauty, music, dance, fertility) and the sacred cow (Hathor's primary animal; Aphrodite's connection to Cyprus where cattle sacrifice was prominent). Plutarch (De Is. ch. 57) also discusses the identification. Note: this adds an Egyptian source for Aphrodite alongside the Canaanite Astarte chain already in the DB — both Hathor and Astarte contributed to the Aphrodite complex.

1469	Aphrodite ENT_APHRODITE	reception_of	Hathor ENT_EGY_HATHOR	medium	Aphrodite as Greek reception of Egyptian Hathor via interpretatio graeca; Herodotus 2.41 equates them; shared domains of love, beauty, music, and the sacred cow. Second source of Aphrodite alongside Canaanite Astarte.	Plutarch, On Isis and Osiris (De Iside et Osiride, c. 100–120 CE) SRC_PLUTARCH_ISIS_OSIRIS	reviewed	Classical Period PER_GRK_CLASSICAL
1512	Eshmun ENT_PHO_ESHMUN	received_as	Asclepius ENT_ASCLEPIUS	high	The Eshmun→Asclepius identification is extensively documented. The great Eshmun sanctuary north of Sidon — a major healing temple complex with a sacred spring — was described by Greek and Roman writers as an Asclepion, establishing a direct religious identification. The Eshmunazar II sarcophagus inscription (c. 450 BCE) names Eshmun explicitly as Sidon's chief healing deity. Philo of Byblos (c. 100 CE, citing Sanchuniathon) identifies the Phoenician healing deity with Asclepius. Pausanias notes the "Sidonian" character of Asclepius. Both Eshmun and Asclepius preside over healing sanctuaries with sacred springs, receive offerings from the sick, and are described as divine physicians.

1513	Asclepius ENT_ASCLEPIUS	reception_of	Eshmun ENT_PHO_ESHMUN	high	Asclepius as the Greek reception of the Sidonian Eshmun healing deity; the Eshmun sanctuary at Sidon was renamed Asklepion; Philo of Byblos documents the identification.
