The Seth animal, or the faunal manifestaion of chaos
Molčanová, Kristýna ; Janák, Jiří (advisor) ; Coppens, Filip (referee)
Annotation: This BA thesis focuses on the god Seth, one of the most prominent deities in the ancient Egyptian pantheon. It aims to evaluate the faunal identity of Seth, whose emblematic animal has not (despite many suggestions) been convincingly and conclusively determined yet. The identification of the so-called "Seth animal" will be primarily based on the synthesis of four main elements: Extant iconographical evidence, evolution of the Seth animal, critically assessed hypotheses suggested so far, and comparison of the physiology and behavioral patterns of the animals with the character traits of Seth. On the basis of this approach, the author will thus attempt to propose the animal species which will seem the most likely possibility for the Seth animal to be modelled on.
