This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.”
– Salma Hayek“Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place.”
– Billy Crystal“Who so firm that cannot be seduced?”
– Shakespeare“There is beauty in everything. Just not everybody sees it.”

Banebdjedet
Spotter's Guide
Most of us have a hard time thinking of a ram as a sex machine, but ancient Egyptians didn’t. Banebdjed’s symbolic animal is a hieroglyph for fertility, and so the ram form, similar to the rams of Amun and Khnum, shows just how sexually potent he can be. Sometimes, Banebdjed wears Ptah or Osiris’s clothes, to show his connections to those two gods.

A Princely Offering
Ramses IX’s son Montuherkhopeshef (what a mouthful) makes offerings to Banebdjed for eternity, on the walls of his beautifully painted tomb in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt. Check out the ram-headed vase the prince uses to pour water.

Don’t Touch This—Or Else
Setting up Banebdjed’s new temple was serious business. A donation stela (a kind of legal paper carved in stone), showing how much land and resources had been given for temple reconstruction, included a curse on anybody who tried to keep any of the land or building materials for himself. Would you want this god mad at you?

Latin Lover
Banebdjed’s priests provided services to Roman visitors, along with the priests of Isis. You could pick them out by their weird curly wigs and ram-head accessories, like in this bronze statue from Mendes.

Could it be… Satan?
Greeks coming to Egypt misunderstood what kind of animal Banebdjed’s symbol was, and often referred to him as “the goat of Mendes” (instead of a ram). In later periods, this misunderstanding, and the knowledge that Banebdjed was a sex god, caused him to be confused with Baphomet. Baphomet was a scary-looking a goat-headed spirit that the Catholic Church accused the Knights Templar of worshipping as a form of Satan. Banebdjed’s not evil, or even mean, so the comparison’s not fair, but it stuck.
