  Anti - Egyptian God of Ferrymen - Nemty - Egyptian Mythology - Anti
In Egyptian mythology, Anti (Antaeus in Greek, but probably not connected to the Antaeus in Greek mythology) was a god whose worship centred at Antaeopolis, in the northern part of Upper Egypt.
Anti occasionally appears in the tale that depicts the conquering of Lower Egypt (whose patron was Set) by Upper Egypt, at the beginning of the Old Kingdom.
Anti is punished for his error, by having his toes cut off, which is more severe than it appears, since as a falcon, he would no longer be able to perch, and thus would not be able to reside on the boat.
