Ḏḥwtj in Later Traditions
Thoth's most enduring syncretism is with the Greek Hermes, producing Hermes Trismegistus, 'Thrice-Great Hermes,' the legendary author of the Hermetic corpus. This Graeco-Egyptian figure became a cornerstone of late antique mysticism, alchemy, and astrology, and was reclaimed by Renaissance humanists such as Ficino and Pico della Mirandola. In Coptic Egypt, Thoth's month name (Thōout) survived in the Christian calendar. His ibis and baboon forms influenced medieval bestiaries and early modern emblem books.
