Satet, Satit or Satjet, Satjit in Ancient Egyptian (Ancient Egyptian: Sṯt or Sṯı͗t, 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.
