Bes

In Egyptian mythology, the god of music and dance, and patron of mirth and birth. He is usually depicted as a grotesque dwarf with leonine features, often wearing a feather headdress.

A popular domestic deity, Bes first appeared in the Middle Kingdom in a form suggesting that he was originally a cat, destroyer of harmful snakes. His name is connected with African words for cat.
