Oâ Ba of Re and Wesir,
I raise my arms in praise to you.
Your sunlight strengthens my heart,
your fertility heals my body.
I offer milk and bread to you,
that my ba may be guided by yourâs through the Duat.
Dua Heryshef!

Heryshef in Armour by Jan Via Flickr: âAmsterdam, Allard Pierson Museum, December 2014. The ram-headed god Heryshef (or Harsaphes as he was known in Graeco-Roman times) in Roman armour and with the Egyptian hemhemet crown. To the Greeks Heryshef was the Egyptian form of Herakles, which is why the Egyptian town of Hnes, home to Heryshef's temple, became known as Herakleopolis. APM 7971. Roman Period (1st-2nd century CE). From Thebes. Bronze.â
Type 8 Within crescent lake: The crescent lake is a natural feature of the Nile floodplain, with high ground within a moatlike outer crescent of water, named isheru in Egyptian. The best-known example is at the temple of the goddess Mut at Luxor (Waraksa 2009), and there may be a particular association with the sailing of goddesses. However, the main god at Hutnennesut is called Heryshef âHe who is over his lake,â and this might refer to a similar feature (Figure 3.8).

A fine miniature gold statuette of Heryshef wearing the Atef crown which now resides in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Heryshef was a Ram-god who was prominent in Middle Egypt at ancient Hnes (modern Ihnasya el-Medina) on the west bank of the Nile. His cult apparently existed at this location as early as the 1st Dynasty of the Old Kingdom.
Iconographical representations of the god were usually as a long-horned ram or ram-headed man. His name literally means, "he who is upon his lake", and it has been suggested that he was a creator god who emerged from the waters of the first primeval lake. Unfortunately, inscriptional evidence of this god is scant, so his exact nature is unclear.Â
He was identified with Ra and Osiris in Egyptian mythology, as well as Dionysus or Heracles in Greek mythology. The identification with Heracles may be related to the fact that in later times his name was sometimes reanalysed as Ḥry-ťf.t "He who is over strength".
