In pharaonic theology, Anubis was the jackal-headed anthropomorphic deity who presided over the embalming of bodies. In the Egyptian-Alexandrian world, the figure of Hermanubis was created by combining the Greek Hermes with the Egyptian Anubis in a divine synthesis, with human features, without a jackal's head and with psychopompa activity, i.e. accompanying the dead to the afterlife.
