Satis, "The Lady of Elephantine" and "She of Sehel (the island)" the giver of water for purification of the deceased, and associated with the inundation. Together with Anuket she was the protectress of the waters of the Nile in the cataract area. Satis, Anukis and Khnum formed in later days the Triad of Abu (Elephantine) and the neighboring islands.

She was depicted in human form, wearing the White Crown of Upper Egypt, with two curved antelope horns on the side. When Khnum later was identified with Re, Satis became the "Eye of Re" and assuming some of Hathorīs aspects, she was seen as a goddess of women and love.

Main center of worship:

Abu/Elephantine, 1st Nome, Upper Egypt
