 | | Ammon was entitled "lord of the thrones of the two lands," or, more proudly still, "king of the gods." Such indeed was his unquestioned position when suddenly he was overthrown and his worship proscribed. | | | Ammon (as Zeus) continued to be the great god of Thebes in its decay, notwithstanding that a nome-capital in the north of the Delta as well as many lesser temples -- from |

| | Zeus then divided the universe up between himself and his two brothers, gaining rulership of the heavens while Poseidon gained the seas and Hades the underworld. | | | Under the Hellenistic Ptolemys of Egypt, Zeus was merged with the native god Ammon to create Zeus-Ammon, whose shrine in southwest Egypt was an important pilgrimage site. |

There is much debate on whether this was an act of statesmanship between two different cultures, but it could also very well be Alexander imposing his divinity upon his people. |

| | Nevertheless, the evidence shows that Alexander believed the nature of his divinity was derived through his true father, Zeus Ammon, and that this divinity was as a god and not as a hero; which would have been inconsistent with the belief of the age. | | | The figure of Alexander the Great has been associated through the ages with the religious figure of Zeus Ammon, and it appears that Alexander himself believed that a divine association existed between himself and the god. | | | However, the sources would have preferred that his divinity was in the context of heroic mythology, and not as a god. |
