In Egyptian mythology, Neith (also known as Nit, Net and Neit) was the patron deity of Sais, in the Western Nile Delta. Originally, Neith was a goddess of the hunt and of war, and had as her symbol, like the town of Sais itself, two crossed Arrows over a shield. It is thought that Neith may correspond to the Berber and Punic goddess Tanit (Ta-Nit).
