This article is about Egyptian goddess. You may be looking for the Light bow.

Neith is an Egyptian goddess of hunting and war, and she is the patron deity of the town of Sais. She is also regarded as a primordial goddess, creator of everything.

Biography[edit | edit source]

Neith was believed to be the mother of the crocodile-god Sobek, in some areas of Egypt during the 1st century BCE.[1]

Influence[edit | edit source]

In 1st century BCE, it was a common practice to thank the goddess after a successful hunt, as demonstrated by the Medjay Bayek of Siwa.[2]

Around the same time, bandits set up a camp within the ruins of a temple dedicated to Neith in Herakleion Nome.[3] At the time, there were also three bows dedicated to the goddess. They were the predator bows Concealed Garment and Neith's Observer, and the light bow Neith.[3]
