Template:Short description Template:Infobox deity Template:Ancient Egyptian religion In Egyptian mythology, Petbe was the god of revenge, worshipped in the area around Akhmim, in central Egypt.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> His name translates as Sky-Ba, roughly meaning "Soul of the Sky", or "Mood of the sky". However, Petbe may be a Chaldean deity introduced by immigrant workers from the Levant, with his name being a corruption of the hybrid phrase Pet-(Ba'al), meaning "Lord of the sky". Early Christians compared Petbe to the Greek god Cronus.
