    Hat-Mehit was a fish goddess and her possible fish form was a dolphin.
    At Mendes Hat-Mehit the local fish goddess, a woman with a fish above her head, "She who is in front of the fishes," also seen in fish form, as a dolphin or the lepidotus fish, and was the spouse of the ram-headed Banebdjedet seen under Pisces on a note on Denderah Decan 33-Grand Temple Decan 24 in regard to Ba spirits.
    Sometimes BaNebDjedet, Hatmehit and their son Harpocrates were called for the Mendesian triad.
    In one myth, Anhur (Onuris, Anhert) brings back the eye of the sun, in this case his consort Mekhit (Mehit), which may be a coincidence in name of Hat-Mehit.
