	Bes
		Bes (also spelt as Bisu) was an Egyptian deity worshipped in the later periods of dynastic history as a protector of households.
		Bes was a household protector, throughout its history becoming responsible for such varied tasks as killing snakes, fighting off evil spirits, watching after children, and aiding (by fighting off evil spirits) women in labour (and thus present with Taweret at births).
		Like many Egyptian gods, the worship of Bes was exported overseas, and he, in particular, proved popular with the Phoenicians and the (ancient) Cypriots.

	Bes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bes (also spelt as Bisu) was a god thought to have been imported into Egyptian mythology from that of Nubia, during the Middle Kingdom.
		Bes gradually became a general household protector, responsible for protecting homes through such tasks as killing snakes, fighting off evil spirits, watching after children, and aiding (by fighting off evil spirits) women in labour (and thus present with Taweret at births).
		As a result, sometimes chambers were constructed, painted with images of Bes and Beset, naked, generally thought by egyptologists to have been for the purpose of a chamber in which people slept so as to cure fertility problems.

		In an enclosed bulb filled with gas, an electric current is passed through a filament of tungsten wire to make it glow.

		For example, a metal halide lamp in a football stadium floodlight consumes "only" 1000 W but generates as much light as a 5000 W incandescent lamp, and the light itself is produced in an area no larger than a 5 Rand coin.

		The legend says that, to the question if he suffered from his condition, he, being a deep neo-platonic philosopher, answered of being glad that Nature had endowed him with so little matter (opposed to the highest value of Spirit and absolutely negative in comparison with it).
		Bes is represented as a dwarf with a very big head and protruding eyes, tongue hanging down, and flapping ears; he is bow-legged and has a bushy and tousled beard, at times even a tail.
		The message communicated by Bes despite his deformity and ugliness is therefore - recalling that he is often represented on mirrors, cosmetic articles, amulets and talismans - a message of joy, beauty, geniality, safeguard, good luck and, as mentioned before, renewal and fertility, since he protects marriage, women, pregnancy, children, home and beauty itself.
