Ram of Mendes
deity single tradition · 1
The "Ram of Mendes" is described as being the Ba of Osiris, but this was not an exclusive association. He is consulted by the "Divine Tribunal" to judge between Horus and Seth, but he proposes that Neith do it instead as an act of diplomacy. As the dispute continues, it is Banebdjedet who suggests that Seth be given the throne as he is the elder brother.
