Bull

Of all the sacred animals in Egypt perhaps the bull received the most attention. In the ithyphallic cult he is represented by Khem. Amen is addre ed as "bull, fair of face." The Theban kings took a title "strong bull," po ibly from Bakha, the name under which the bull sacred to Mentu was worshipped in Erment. The bull was the emblem of strength and courage. (See Apis and Mnevis and Serapeum.)
