Egyptian pantheon

Source: Veritable Hokum.

The Egyptian pantheon, also known as the Pharaonic pantheon or the Heliopians, is the group of gods worshiped in ancient Egypt. It also forms the basis for the Mulhorandi pantheon. There is also some overlap between the Egyptian pantheon and others, such as the Hyborian pantheon and Phoenic pantheon. A subgroup is the Ennead or Great Ennead.

Here's an oversimplified rundown. You have your "creator god" generation with Ra, Aten, Atum, and Amun, a few of whom have been variously combined (such as Amun-Ra and Atum-Ra). You also have the family who form the basis for the drama around the Osiris myth: the siblings Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys; and Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis who slew Set. Linking this family to the creator god generation are Geb and Nut (the parents of Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys); and Shu and Tefnut (the parents of Geb and Nut), who are the children of Ra (or Amun or Amun-Ra or whatever you'd like).

You have plenty of other important gods as well, of course, like Thoth, Apep/Apophis, Mut, Maat, Neith, Hathor, Anubis, Ptah, and others.
