In Karnak Khons was worshipped as 'Neferhotep in Thebes'.
As a child god, Khons could also be identified with the child Horus, and as a result he is sometimes represented with the sidelock of youth and standing on crocodiles, an attitude that may be compared with that of Horus on the magical stelae.
Khons was identified by the Greeks with Herakles, the son of Zeus (the Greek equivalent of Amun), undoubtedly because of Khons's link with Shu as the god who supports the sky.

But Khons, in Egyptian, comes from a word that signifies "to chase." Therefore, the name of Khons, the son of Maut, the goddess-mother, who was adorned in such a way as to identify her with Rhea, the great goddess-mother of Chaldea, * properly signifies "The Huntsman," or god of the chase.
Khons, the son of the great goddess-mother, seems to have been generally represented as a full-grown god.
The Babylonian divinity was also represented very frequently in Egypt in the very same way as in the land of his nativity--i.e., as a child in his mother's arms.

 Khons, Chonso: Spiritual Theosophical Dictionary on Khons, Chonso
He is also the "god of the hunt", and Sir Gardner Wilkinson would see in him the Egyptian Hercules, probably because the Romans had a god named Consus who presided over horse races and was therefore called "the concealer of secrets".
But the latter is a later variant on the Egyptian Khons, who is more probably an aspect of Horus, as he wears a hawk’s head, carries the whip and crook of Osiris the tat and the crux ansata.

Well-known triads include those of Thebes, consisting of Amun, Mut and Khons, of Memphis with Ptah, Sakhmet and Nefertem, of Edfu consisting of Horus, Isis (or Hathor) and Harsomtus, and of Dendera with Horus, Hathor and Ihi (or Harsomtus).
Amun and Khons) are two aspects of one and the same god: Amun is reborn as Khons, Khons is the young Amun, Amun is the adult/old Khons in the eternal cycle of death and rebirth.
The female element of the triad is not only the wife (or even 'daughter') of the old god but also the mother of the young god; because Amun and Khons are one and the same god, Mut is simultaneously mother, wife and daughter.
