InEgyptian mythology,Petbe was the god of revenge, worshipped in the area aroundAkhmim, in central Egypt.[1] His name translates asSky-Ba, roughly meaning "Soul of theSky", or "Mood of the sky". However, Petbe may be aChaldean deity introduced by immigrant workers from theLevant, with his name being a corruption of thehybrid phrasePet-(Ba'al), meaning "Lord of the sky". Early Christians compared Petbe to the Greek godCronus.
