Diademed head of Zeus Ammon to right, with ram's horn in his hair and over the diadem / BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΠTOΛEMAIOY, Eagle with closed wings standing left on thunderbolt, head right, filleted cornucopia over his shoulder; between eagle's legs, E.Zeus Ammon, often simply referred to as Ammon, is a syncretic deity combining elements of the Greek god Zeus and the Egyptian god Amun. The worship of Zeus Ammon emerged in the Hellenistic period as a result of cultural interactions between the Greeks and Egyptians.
Zeus, the king of the Greek gods, and Amun, a major deity in the Egyptian pantheon associated with air and the hidden forces of creation, were merged to create a deity that represented both cultures. The Greeks identified Amun with Zeus due to perceived similarities in their attributes and roles.
The most notable sanctuary dedicated to Zeus Ammon was located at the Siwa Oasis in Egypt. Alexander the Great, after conquering Egypt in 332 BCE, sought guidance from the oracle at the Siwa Oasis, reinforcing the association between Zeus Ammon and divination. According to some accounts, the oracle acknowledged Alexander as the son of Zeus Ammon.
The cult of Zeus Ammon persisted for several centuries, particularly in regions where Greek and Egyptian cultures intersected. The syncretism of deities was a common phenomenon in the Hellenistic world, illustrating the blending of religious beliefs and practices as a result of cultural exchange.
