RA

Picture of Ra

Ra was the ancient Egyptian god of the Sun. He was complemented by the moon goddess, Osiris and was identified by the Greeks with their own sun god, Helios. He was represented with a hawk's head, over which is a solar disc.
Ra was the son of Neith and married Mut, representing the interaction of earth and sunlight in producing vegetation.
