Anubis: Son of Osiris (god of the underworld) and Ephthys (goddess of fertility)... As god of death Anubis weights the souls of the dead on a scale against truth, to see if they be worthy to be judged by his father Osiris or loose their spirit to Ammut, a beast known as the "Devourer of souls"...

anubis was also worshiped in Greek ian culture. he was called Anpu as was identified with Hermes. he was originally the forth son of Ra but was later put into the osiris family. he had a daughter who was called Kebehut the goddess of freshess. and because of his identification with hermes he was later known as Hermanubis...sorry about that... but i like to keep people interested by giving people unuseual information at i know about the gods...

I remember studying the Egyptian Gods in my Ancient History class last year. I'm actually quite fascinated with that culture and this is a marvelous, not to mention vibrant and colorful, depiction of Anubis. Your artwork is amazing.jira on April 2, 2005, 11:51:32 AM

How interesting. I like how you drew the feather of maat against the human heart. That is so interesting, ususally people depict the feather as. . . Well, a feather!

Thank you for the info, I think I came across the Manga comic of "Ragnarok"... Though I enjoy the artwork, nothing compares to the diverse written literature of World Myths! Thank you for your comments...williamperez on February 15, 2005, 9:48:44 PM
