In Egyptian mythology,
Petbe was the god of revenge, worshipped in the area around
Akhmin, in central Egypt. His name translates as Sky-Ba, roughly
meaning Soul of the Sky, or Mood of the sky. However, Petbe
may instead be a semitic 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 Christianitians
compared Petbe to the Greek god Cronos.
