Sah (god)

In Egyptian mythology, Sah was the deification of constellation Orion. His consort was Sopdet, the goddess of star Sirius. Orion and Sirius both held an important role in Egyptian mythology, and the corresponding deities were associated with Osiris and Isis.

Sah was frequently mentioned as "the Father of Gods" in the Old Kingdom Pyramid texts. Pharaoh was thought to travel to Orion after his death.
