CHONS

This article appears in Volume V09, Page 53 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHA-CHR
CHONS , " he who travels by
boat
 ," perhaps originally a mere epithet of the moon-god Ioh or
Thoth
 , is chiefly
familiar
  as the third member of the Theban triad. As such he is represented as a youthful god, wearing a
skull
 -cap surmounted by the moon. His cult was revived and became popular in Ptolemaic times. A curious
story
  about the sending of his statue to
Mesopotamia
  to heal a daughter of the
king
  of Bakhtan is related upon a
stele
  that purports to date from the Ramesside period: it has been proved to be a pious fraud invented by the priests not earlier than the
Greek
  period.
