Serapis

LIMC Sarapis 93aA god 'created' in the early Hellenistic period and worshipped most in Egypt, but soon current through the Greek world, and to varying degrees assimilated to other Greek gods. He appears as a Zeus-like figure, wearing the modius (a small pot indicating fertility) on his head, and may be accompanied by Cerberus.
