Hermanubis (Ancient Greek: Ἑρμανοῦβις, romanized: Hermanoubis) is a Graeco-Egyptian god who conducts the souls of the dead to the underworld.
[3] Depicted having a human body and a jackal head, with the sacred caduceus that belonged to the Greek god Hermes, he represented the Egyptian priesthood.
[4][5][6] The divine name Ἑρμανοῦβις (Hermanoubis) is known from a handful of epigraphic and literary sources, mostly of the Roman period.
Plutarch cites the name as a designation of Anubis in his underworldly aspect, while Porphyry refers to Hermanubis as σύνθετος (sýnthetos) "composite" and μιξέλλην (mixéllin) "half-Greek".
[7][8] Although it was not common in traditional Greek religion to combine the names of two gods in this manner, the double determination of Hermanubis has some formal parallels in the earlier period.
