Anubis

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 1: A to Beaufort, p. 327

Anubis, an Egyptian deity, a son of Osiris, identified by the Greeks with Hermes. He is represented on monuments as having the head of a jackal, with pointed ears and snout, which the Greeks frequently changed to those of a dog. His office, like that of Hermes Psyehopompos among the Greeks, was to accompany the ghosts of the deceased into Amenthes, the under-world, and there along with Horus to weigh their actions before Osiris.
