263 Ptah ENT_EGY_PTAH paired_with Seshat ENT_EGY_SESHAT medium Ptah and Seshat overlap in craft, measurement, and temple foundation contexts. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
264 Ptah ENT_EGY_PTAH identified_with Tatenen ENT_EGY_TATENEN medium Ptah and Tatenen overlap in Memphite creator/earth theology. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
353 Ptah ENT_EGY_PTAH patron_of Craft ENT_CRAFT high Ptah is a creator/craft deity. Richard H. Wilkinson, The Complete Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt SRC_WILKINSON_EGYPTIAN_GODS reviewed  
1572 Ptah ENT_EGY_PTAH spouse_of Sekhmet ENT_EGY_SEKHMET high Ptah and Sekhmet form the divine couple of the Memphis Triad (Ptah–Sekhmet–Nefertem). Sekhmet ("the Powerful One") is Ptah's fierce consort and the lioness goddess of war and pestilence; their pairing unites the creative/craftsman principle (Ptah) with the destructive/protective force (Sekhmet).

1576 Ptah ENT_EGY_PTAH received_as Hephaestus ENT_HEPHAESTUS high Herodotus explicitly equates Ptah with Hephaestus at 3.37, where he refers to the temple of Ptah at Memphis as the temple of Hephaestus: "the temple of Hephaestus" (= Ptah) at Memphis is where Cambyses committed his sacrilege. Memphis itself was sometimes called "Hephaestia" by Greek writers. The equation rests on shared craftsmanship and creation attributes: Ptah is the divine craftsman and creator-by-word in Egyptian theology; Hephaestus is the divine craftsman and smith of the Greek pantheon. Both are associated with fire, metalwork, and the creative power to fashion divine objects. The identification was widespread in the Ptolemaic and Roman periods.
