Bennu Kagaho

Bennu Kagaho is a Specter, and one of the many Saints of Hades (Saint Seiya). He is a warrior and Saint of Bennu. Bennu (Egypt ueben the verb, "to shine", "lift") is another name of the Phoenix. In fact, Phoenix is the Greek name of the Egyptian Bennu. In artistic representations, the Bennu was the head of the White Crown of Upper Egypt, accompanied by two tall plumes. Not much is known about the cult of the Bennu, except that was centered in Heliopolis (Greek name meaning Sun City). This animal was regarded as the ba of the god Ra (the sun, in the form of Atum) when he appeared at the time of creation of the world, landing in the Benben stone. The bird was seen in other cases as the ba of Osiris, which arose after the death of God in the hands of Seth. According to an Egyptian myth, a goose, known as the "Great Croaker", put the first egg from which came the Bennu. The ancient Greeks identified this animal with the Phoenix. According to Herodotus, the Bennu appeared only every five hundred years, bringing the body of the deceased parent. According to the Greek author, the bird created a bonfire in which perished and from which emerged a new bird. This story does not yet have any relationship to Egyptian mythology. Kagaho is powerful, and desire's vengence against his rival, Saint Aldebaran.
