| APET. An
Egyptian goddess who was represented under the form of an upright
hippopotamus with long pendant breasts, generally leaning upon a peculiar
cross-like instrument, which has been regarded as a sign of
protection. She appears to have been substituted for the goddess
Maut in the lower times of the empire, and her titles were "The good
Nurse," "The Great One who bears the Gods," "The Great
Mother of him who is married to his Mother," i.e., the Ithyphallic
Horus. She was also under the title of "The great Ta Ouer"
or Thoueris,
represented as an avenging deity, having a lion's head and armed with a
long straight knife, in which character she was called "The Nourisher
of those who approach to the flames (of hell)." See also
Thoeris. (An Archaic
Dictionary, Cooper, 1876).
