Onuris (also known as Onouris, Anhur, Anhuret, Han-Her, Inhert) Greek name for the Egyptian war god Anhur, whom the Greeks identified with their god Ares. He was believed to be the personification of the warlike nature of the sun god Ra, and he was often coupled with the god Shu, who held up the heavens, and invoked under the composite god Onouris-Shu. In Egyptian art Onouris is portrayed in a headdress adorned with four straight plumes, wearing a long embroidered robe. He is often holding a lance. He is sometimes seen holding a cord by which he leads the sun. "...A long time ago, a young girl was walking in the fields that stood close by her village, singing to herself, when a lion appeared out nowhere and spotted her. The beast licked its maw and roared. Here, he had a meal ready to be devoured. The girl screamed in fear, but the lion’s terrible cry startled her, and she froze in place. The lion roared again and pounced upon the girl when a second beast appeared, four plumes in its mane, and ripped the lion away from the girl before it could hurt her. The appearance of the second lion startled the beast, but it threw itself into a fight immediately. Roars and screams were heard all across the fields and reached the village. Alarmed, the people came running to see what was happening, just to witness a magnificent lion triumph over one of its brethren as it protected a girl. The people watched as the victorious lion stood protectively over the girl, before it raised its head, roared, and with a jump, dissipated into the air, leaving four plumes behind..."

Propaganda

Onuris (Find the Path: The Mummy's Mask):

(i'm not done with the podcast yet but here's what i know) Onuris was exiled (?) from his noble family, went to the desert, died and came back and became a cleric. He's a 25-year-old in a party of 17-19 year-olds and always sighs when they do something dumb. He is also canonically pretty good looking iirc. He's half blind and has a pet falcon (he likes birds)

Features

Is depicted as a bearded man wearing a short kilt, robe over it and a headdress with four tall feathers, holding a spear or lance, or occasionally as a lion-headed god.

Roles:God of War and Sky Bearer, Lord of Slaughter. Patron of the army and one of the gods who stood on Ra's barque and defended him from Apep.

Hybrid gods:Anhuret-Shu (New Kingdom), Onuris-Horus (Ptolemaic), Horu/Horus (Ptolemaic)

Due to his position as a war god, he was patron of the ancient Egyptian army, and the personification of royal warriors. Indeed, at festivals honoring him, mock battles were staged. During the Roman era the Emperor Tiberius was depicted on the walls of Egyptian temples wearing the distinctive four-plumed crown of Anhur.

The Greeks equated Anhur to their god of war, Ares. In the legend of Olympian gods fleeing from Typhon and taking animal form in Egypt, Ares was said to have taken the form of a fish as Lepidotus or Onuris

Anhur's name also could mean Sky Bearer and, due to the shared headdress, Anhur was later identified with Shu, becoming Anhur-Shu. He is the son of Ra and brother of Tefnut if identified as Shu.
