227 Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN spouse_of Amunet ENT_EGY_AMUNET medium Amun and Amunet form an Ogdoad pair in Hermopolitan theology. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
234 Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN member_of Ogdoad ENT_EGY_OGDOAD medium Amun appears in an Ogdoad pair with Amunet. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
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).

1568 Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN spouse_of Mut ENT_EGY_MUT high Amun and Mut form the divine couple of the Theban Triad (Amun–Mut–Khonsu), with Khonsu as their son. Mut's Precinct at Karnak (south of the main Amun temple complex) was her primary cult center. The pairing is the dominant theological arrangement of the New Kingdom Egyptian state religion.

1570 Amun ENT_EGY_AMUN parent_of Khonsu ENT_EGY_KHONSU high Khonsu is the divine son of Amun and Mut in the Theban Triad; his name means "the traveller" and he is primarily a moon deity; his main temple at Karnak (the Khonsu temple, largely built by Ramesses III) forms the third element of the Theban triad complex.
