Hebenou
Hebenou is the Egyptian name of the capital of the 16th names High-Egypt, whose Greek name is Théodosiopolis . The city was not localized yet with certainty, but one generally locates it at Minièh or Kôm ek-Ahmar in the north of Such el-Amarna with approximately 270 kilometers in the south of the Cairo.
The emblem of this names (and perhaps city) is a Oryx or a white gazelle ( My-hedj or Méhet ), which is an animal related to the god of the disorder, Seth. It is in this place that Horus (incarnated by Pharaon) rejouait the mythical battle where it Seth terrace (incarnated by the oryx). It is probable that in this place, Pharaon (or one of his representatives) took by with a ritual hunting and that the sacrificed oryx was offered to the temple of the local version of Horus, known under the name of Horus de Hebenou.
