Hydra

    On Denderah Zodiac the Serpent under Leo's feet, is Hydra and is also known as Knem, who conquers or is conquered.
    Since Hydra is seen as a netjeru in a animal form, therefore it represents a pure force of nature.

    Coma Berenices and Leo (standing on the serpent Hydra) as seen on the Grand Temple are located above Decan 2-3.

    As seen above on ESNE Plate 79 we also see Coma Berenices and Leo, standing on the serpent Hydra.

    From www.siloam.net it claims, "To understand the spirit nature of the serpent under the lion’s feet we have to look back to the place where the adolescent child was released from its mother’s bondage."    See notes in Orion.    "...when the serpent has no more folds.    In other words, the mysteries of the journey have all been unwound."
    Siloam also claims that Hydra (Hydrus) is called Apophis.

    This is that old serpent destroyed.

    In "Gospel of the Stars," by Joseph Seiss, page 136, he claims "In Denderah sphere the Lion stands directly on the Serpent, whilst underneath is the hieroglyphic name Knem, which means vanquished, conquered."

    In "The Witness of the Stars," by E.W. Bullinger, page 163-164 "The hieroglyphics read Knem, and are placed underneath.    Knem means who conquers, or is conquered, referring to the victory over the serpent."

    On page 166-167 "It (Hydra) is pictured as the female serpent, the mother and author of all evil.    Hydra has the significant meaning, he is abhorred!"
