Serapis (English spelling)
Egyptian male deity. A combination of Osiris and Apis, he was a bull god. He was also considered the king of the underworld and the god of medicine. He was worshipped in Memphis, where he had a temple called the Serapeum. Ptolemy I promoted the cult of Serapis to mark the beginning of his dynasty, and established the center of his faith in the capital, Alexandria. There, Serapis was worshiped through Greek-style rituals, and he came to be worshiped by Macedonians and Greeks as well. He was identified with Dionysus as a fertility god and likened to a sun god, and spread throughout the Mediterranean world.

エジプトの男神。オシリスとアピスの合成神で牛神。冥府の王,医術の神ともされた。メンフィスで崇拝され,そこにセラペウムと呼ばれる神殿があった。プトレマイオス1世は自分の王朝の始りを特徴づけるためセラピス崇拝を推し進め,首都アレクサンドリアに信仰の中心地を定めた。そこではセラピスはギリシア風の祭祀により崇拝され,マケドニア人,ギリシア人にも崇拝されるようになった。豊穣神としてディオニュソスと同一視されたり,太陽神になぞらえられたりして,地中海世界に広まった。
