Tithoe/’Tutu’

the God Tithoe, graeco-roman period, now in the Staatliche Museum Berlin.
Tithoe is represented as a winged pantheistic sphinx wearing a military tunic; from His chest protrudes a crocodile’s head, and His tail ends in a serpent. He wears the ‘Atef’-Crown with ram’s horns, and around His Nemes-headdress are depicted the heads of eight sacred animals:
bull, falcon, ibis, ram (at right)
lion, dog, baboon, feline (at left)
In His right hand He holds the victory wreath/wheel of fortune, and with His left He grabs a captured enemy

 

Tithoe (‘Twtw’), son of Neith, is a powerful and victorious God, connected with the Divine Kingship of Egypt, and a master of daemons (spirits); He is an accessible God to whom people could turn for help in their everday existence. Very often He was represented on stelae where He was shown in side view but with His head turned to be viewed frontally, emphasizing this approachability.
The God Tithoes, “He Who stirs up uproar every month in Sais”, ruled on Earth during the time of the II Divine Dynasty, the Dynasty of the “Little(young) Company of the Gods”(Manetho, fr. 3 from Syncellus), many millennia before the First Dynasty of human Kings(the Dynasty of Menes-Narmer)
Tithoe usually is represented in the form of a striding royal sphinx composed of a lion’s body and a human head, with usually a snake as His tail. In later periods He may be depicted in a pantheistic mode with other elements like a crocodile head or a lion head attached to His body.
