DID YOU KNOW? Hat-Mehit Became a Form of Isis?

Hat-Mehit was the chief goddess of the region near Mendes in the ancient Egyptian Delta. There, she was associated with the ram-headed god Banebdjet. In Greco-Roman times, these two gods were assimilated to Osiris and Isis. Hat-Mehit (whose sacred animal was a fish), was also honored with a cult in Isis's great "Festival Temple" at Behbeit.
