Huh. Egyptian Mythology......I'm surprised and disapointed. Surprised because I was expecting something more...special. And dissapointed because I thought it had already been used.

So, my questions: Do pharaohs count, given how they were seen as gods in ancient Egypt?

And more importantly: Where does Interpretatio Graeca fit into the theme, if it does? I mean, ideas such as the greek Io fleeing to Egypt and becoming known/worshipped as Isis, were a result of said Greek Interpretation. Along with the comparison and subsequent connection between the greek Demeter and Isis.

I mean, for the most part Interpretatio Graeca/Romana/Germanica/etc. simply paints different gods from different mythologies more as Equivalents.........except in cases like (some versions of) Io's tale.

I'm not quite decided yet, but for the moment I pick Ra or Amon-Ra.
