Hermanubis () is a Graeco-Egyptian god who conducts the souls of the dead to the underworld. He is a syncretism of Hermes from Greek mythology and Anubis from Egyptian mythology. Hermanubis was possibly one of the ancestors of the dog-headed Saint Christopher – a cynocephalus saint, who was, similarly to Anubis/Hermanubis, a powerful ferryman for travelers.
