The serpent goddess Renenutet bore the primeval serpent Nehebkau through union with the earth god Geb, producing a son whose power was so great that Atum himself had to subdue him.
⚠ Some Pyramid Text passages treat Nehebkau as a primordial entity without parents; the Renenutet-Geb parentage derives from later Coffin Text traditions.
Renenutet was syncretized with Isis as Isis-Thermouthis during the Ptolemaic period, merging the harvest goddess's agricultural powers with the great enchantress's universal appeal.
