Description
My stud lion on Lioden, a game created byMaahes was an Ancient Egyptian lion-headed god of war and protection. He was a deity associated with war, protection, and weather, as well as that of knives, lotuses, and devouring captives. His cult was centred in Taremu and Per-Bast. His name means "he who is true beside her".
Maahes is Ancient Egyptian deity often confused with Apedemak.
Apedemak was called "The Lord of Royal Power". Apedemak was a lion-headed warrior god worshiped in Nubia by Meroitic peoples. Whilst they are very similar in image and meaning, they are not related by blood.
My theory is that Maahes, my king, is the jealous twin brother of Apedemak. They both set out with similar intentions, however due to the fact that Apedemak is better known, Maahes grew jealous. Apedemak's ego drove Maahes to murderous intents, selecting only certain lionesses to serve under his rule in his pride. Any other lionesses he stumbles upon in his territory whom he does not feel fit forΒ his pride end up being captured and killed, sometimes eaten by this cannibalistic king.
