This god was the patron of the Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties, though the Eighteenth Dynasty built a large temple to him where the animal whose head he has was kept and fed. This god invented a trap that restored the severed hands of Horus, and in the book of the dead he assists in the birth of Horus. The Greeks depicted this god with a halo of solar rays, since they considered him a form of Helios. In Ptolemaic times, this god was the father of Khonsu, though earlier he was considered childless. Major temples to this god were at Gebel el-Silsila, Gebelein, Dehamsha, and Kom Ombo, but the largest was located in the Faiyum region at Shedat, also called Arsinoe, which the Greeks eventually renamed for the animal this god is associated with. At death, this god was believed to prevent decay of the body, and he was considered the repairer of evil that had been done. Because he was a god of the royal army, this deity was depicted with a uraeus, the Egyptian symbol of kingship. This deity eventually became a fertility god because of his close association with the Nile, though he originally represented one of its most dangerous animals. For ten points, name this Egyptian god with the head of a crocodile.
