EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to ancient Egypt, where the fascinating and enigmatic god Bes was worshipped. Despite his grotesque appearance as a dwarf with features that may seem intimidating at first glance, Bes is actually a benevolent deity whose primary role is to protect women during the risks of childbirth.
In Egyptian mythology, Bes was believed to be a powerful guardian who watched over mothers and their newborn babies, ensuring their safety and well-being during this vulnerable time. His presence brought comfort and reassurance to women facing the uncertainties of childbirth.
The historical significance of Bes in Egyptian religion cannot be understated, as he symbolizes protection, strength, and care for those in need. Through his unique appearance and compassionate nature, Bes remains an enduring figure in ancient history.
