About Bes

§ 02

Bes was an ancient Egyptian dwarf god, often depicted as a dwarf with a large phallus, wearing a feathered headdress. He was a deity associated with music, dance, fertility, and childbirth, and was believed to protect the home and family. Bes was also thought to ward off evil spirits and protect against snake and scorpion bites. The name "Bes" is transliterated from Egyptian hieroglyphs, and it does not have a direct translation in Hebrew. In other languages, Bes is known as "Bes" in Latin, "Bes" in Greek, and "Bes" in Coptic. Bes was particularly popular during the Late Period of Ancient Egypt (664–332 BCE) and was often depicted in art and amulets. His protective role made him a popular figure in households, and he was often depicted on furniture, mirrors, and other household items.

Bes

Ancient Egyptian deity of households

Bes, together with his feminine counterpart Beset, is an ancient Egyptian deity, of Kushite/Nubian or Nehesi C-Group culture origin worshipped as a protector of households and, in particular, of mothers, children, and childbirth. Bes later came to be regarded as the defender of everything good and the enemy of all that is bad. According to Donald Mackenzie in 1907, Bes may have been a Middle Kingdom import from Nubia and his cult did not become widespread until the beginning of the New Kingdom, but more recently several Bes-like figurines have been found in deposits from the Naqada period of pre-dynastic Egypt, like the thirteen figurines found at Tell el-Farkha.
