Apep, also spelled Apepi, Aapep (Ancient Egyptian: ꜥꜣpp(y)*ʻAʼpāp(ī); Coptic: ⲀⲫⲱⲫAphōph[1]), or Apophis (/əˈpoʊfɪs/;[2] Ancient Greek: ἌποφιςÁpophis), was the ancient Egyptian deity who embodied darkness and disorder, and was thus the opponent of light and Ma'at (order/truth). Ra was the bringer of light and hence the biggest opposer of Apep.
