In
Egyptian mythology, Maahes (also spelled Mihos, Miysis, Maihes, and Mahes) was a
lion-god. The first mentions of Maahes occur in the
New Kingdom, and some European archeologists have purported that Maahes was of foreign origin; indeed there is some evidence that he may have been analogous with the lion-god
Apedemak worshipped in
Nubia and Egypt's Western Desert.
