ONOURIS

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

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NUM-ORC
ONOURIS , Egyptian En-huri, " sky-bearer," the god of Thinis. Later identified with Shu (Show), who holds
heaven
  and earth apart. PTAH, the
Hephaestus
  of the Greeks, a demiurgic and creative god,
special
 
patron
  of hand-workers and artisans. Worshipped in Memphis, he perhaps owed his importance more to the political prominence of that
town
  than to anything else. He was early identified with an
ancient
  but obscure god Tenen, and further with the sepulchral deity Sokaris. He is represented either as a closely enshrouded figure whose protruding hands grasp a composite
sceptre
 , the whole
standing
  on a
pedestal
  within a shrine; or else as a misshapen
dwarf
 .
