Description
Wepwawet originally was seen as a wolf deity, thus the Greek name of Lycopolis, meaning city of wolves, and it is likely the case that Wepwawet was originally just a symbol of the pharaoh, seeking to associate with wolf-like attributes, that later became deified as a mascot to accompany the pharaoh. Likewise, Wepwawet was said to accompany the pharaoh on hunts, in which capacity he was titled (one with) sharp arrow more powerful than the gods.
Over time, the connection to war, and thus to death, led to Wepwawet also being seen as one who opened the ways to, and through, Duat, for the spirits of the dead. Through this, and the similarity of the jackal to the wolf, Wepwawet became associated with Anubis, eventually being considered his son. Consequently, Wepwawet often is confused with Anubis.
Wepwawet was depicted as a wolf or a jackal, or as a man with the head of a wolf or a jackal. Even when considered a jackal, Wepwawet usually was shown with grey, or white fur, reflecting his lupine origins. He was depicted dressed as a soldier, as well as carrying other military equipment—a mace and a bowWhen Ra floated on his boat through the regions of night it was Wepwawet who rode on the bows, guarding the way ahead. Wepwawet is found leading all manner of processions, religious, civil, scientific and warlike.
Wepwawet is one of those useful sort of gods who keep quietly in the background and simply get on with their work, with the minimum fuss and the maximum efficiency.
