Satet, Satit or Satjet, Satjit in Ancient Egyptian (Ancient Egyptian: Sṯt or Sṯı͗t,[8] lit. "Pourer" or "Shooter"), Greek: Satis, also known by numerous related names, was an Upper Egyptian goddess who, along with Khnum and Anuket, formed part of the Elephantine Triad. A protective deity of Egypt's southern border with Nubia, she came to personify the former annual flooding of the Nile and to serve as a war, hunting, and fertility goddess.
She was sometimes conflated with Isis and Sopdet, goddess of the bright star Sirius,[9] which the Egyptians connected with the onset of the Nile flooding. Under the interpretatio graeca, she was conflated with Hera[9] and Juno.
