Serapis was a Greco-Egyptian god worshipped in ancient Egypt.

The god was introduced by Ptolemy I Soter, the founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt, who sought to accommodate the beliefs of both Greek and Egyptian culture, highlighting their similarities. To this end, he amalgamated the names of Osiris and Apis, forming the name "Serapis".^[1]

By the 1st century BCE, the cult of Serapis was widespread across Egypt, with various towns and cities containing a temple or shrine dedicated to him, the most notable being the Serapeum of Alexandria.^[2]

Around 48 BCE, the Cult of Serqet used a shrine dedicated to Serapis in northern Kanopos Nome to perform one of their gruesome ceremonies, guided by their 'mission statement' that deemed they should gather "facets of the four gods -- Sekhmet, mistress of the desert, Serapis, lord of transition, Sobek, lord of the Nile, and Horus, lord of the sky. Their followers will be initiated into our order in their holy places."^[3]
