| Apep (Ancient Egyptian: ꜥꜣpp), also known as Aphoph (, Coptic: Ⲁⲫⲱⲫ, romanized: Aphōph) or Apophis (; Ancient Greek: Ἄποφις, romanized: Ápophis), is the ancient Egyptian deity who embodied darkness and disorder, and was thus the opponent of light and Maat (order/truth). Ra was the bringer of light and hence the biggest opposer of Apophis. |
