Originally named Tehuti by the
Egyptians, Thoth was given his better known name by the Greeks. They linked
him with their god Hermes, and like Hermes, he was considered to be the god
of wisdom, writing and invention. He was also the messenger and spokesman
of the gods and finally the lord of the moon.
He is represented as a man with
the head of an ibis, which is often crowned by the crescent moon supporting
the full moon disk. He often holds a writing palette. The baboon is also
sacred to him, for in Hermopolis, he merged with the local baboon god
Hedj-wer. Thoth invented the arts and sciences, music, and magic, and was the
god of learning, but above all, he was famed for being the creator of
hieroglyphs, and was known as “the lord of holy words”. As the god who
invented writing, he was the protector of scribes. Thoth was occasionally
described as the tongue or heart of Ra. As the god of magic, he was called
“the elder”.
