'''Hermanubis''' ({{langx|grc|Ἑρμανοῦβις|translit=Hermanoubis}}) is a [[Greco-Egyptian|Graeco-Egyptian]] god who conducts the souls of the dead to the [[greek underworld|underworld]]. He is a [[syncretism]] of [[Hermes]] from [[Greek mythology]] and [[Anubis]] from [[Egyptian mythology]]. Hermanubis was possibly one of the ancestors of the dog-headed [[Saint Christopher]] – a [[Cynocephaly|cynocephalus]] saint, who was, similarly to Anubis / Hermanubis, a powerful ferryman for travelers. <ref>{{Cite journal |last=Stefanovic |first=Danijela |title=The "Christianisation" of Hermanubis, Historia 4, 2013, 506-5014. |url=https://www.academia.edu/2522152 |journal=Journal of Ancient History |volume=62}}</ref>
