Teta was an Egyptian baker who lived in Memphis, Egypt during the reign of Ptolemy XIII.
Biography
During the mid 1st century BCE, Teta worked as a baker in the northeast market of Memphis. Employing Sasobek who served as her taster, Teta's cakes amd bread were popular throughout the city, so much so that Taimhotep, the wife of the High Priest of Ptah Pasherenptah had them delivered the cakes to the Great Temple for five years. In 48 BCE, Sasobek was arrested by the authorities for not paying taxes for the spices used in the bread. As a result, Teta was unable to resume her business. After Sasobek's arrest, Teta was visited by the Medjay, Bayek, who set out to free her taster and bring him back.[1]
Sometime later, Bayek brought Sasobek back to Teta in the market, who confessed his feelings to the baker, followed by a revelation that there was a plot to poison Taimhotep in the temple. Bayek later headed to the garrison that the cakes are stored it, leaving Teta to deal with Sasobek's confession.[1]
