| − | ** '''fishygods''' → '''Ichthys''' (sometimes spelled Ikhthus, from Greek: ἰχθύς, capitalized ΙΧΘΥΣ or ΙΧΘΥC) is the ancient and classical Greek word for "fish". In English it refers to a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the ends of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a fish, said to have been used by Early Christians as a secret symbol and now known colloquially as the "sign of the fish" or the "Jesus fish." Ichthys can be read as an acrostic, a word formed from the first letters of several words. It compiles to "Jesus Christ, God's son, savior".

| − | ** '''fishygods''' → '''Hatmehit''' or Hatmehyt In Egyptian mythology, was a fish-goddess, originally a deification of the Nile River, by the people in the area around the delta city of Per-banebdjedet, Mendes. In Ancient Egyptian art Hatmehit was depicted either as a fish, or a woman with a fish emblem or crown on her head, and was known as the ''Foremost of Fish'' or ''Chief of Fish''. She was a goddess of life and protection. When the cult of Osiris arose, as wife of Osiris, and mother of Horus, she eventually became identified as a form of Isis.

| − | ** '''fishygods''' → '''Atargatis''' was a Syrian deity, commonly known to the ancient Greeks by a shortened form of the name, Derceto or Derketo and as Dea Syria, "Goddess of Syria", occasionally rendered in one word Deasura. She is often now popularly described as the mermaid-goddess, from her fish-bodied appearance at Ascalon and in Diodorus Siculus — a widely accessible source — but which is by no means her universal appearance. ''"Diodorus Siculus (ii. 4), in dependence upon Ctesias (cf. ii. 20), narrates that Aphrodite was angry with Derketo, and caused her to fall in love with a beautiful youth among those who sacriliced in the temple in Askalon. By him she became the mother of Semiramis. Filled with shame, she caused the youth to disappear, and placed the child in a desert, wher she was fed by doves. She then cast herself into a lake near Askalon and was changed into a fish, with the exception of her face. This isthe origin of the half-human half-lish image of Derketo."''

| − | ** '''fishygods''' → '''Oannes''' was the name given by the Babylonian writer Berossus in the 3rd century BC to a mythical being who taught mankind wisdom. ''"Now it happened that in the first year, in the confines of Babylonia, there emerged from the Red Sea an awesome creature which was named Oannes. As Apollodorus relates in his book, [this being] had the complete body of a fish. Yet by the fish's head was another appropriate [human] head, and by the tail were [a pair of] human feet, and it could speak human language. A picture/likeness of [Oannes] has been preserved to this day. He further states that this creature kept company with humans during the day, completely abstaining from any kind of food, instructing people in letters and the techniques of different arts [including] city and temple [building], knowledge of laws, the nature of weights and measures, how to collect seeds and fruits; indeed, he taught humankind everything necessary for domestic life on earth. From that time on no one [individual] has discovered more. Now when the sun went down, the Oannes creature once again returned to the sea, remaining until morning in the vast expanse of the waters. Thus it lived the life of an amphibian. Subsequently other similar creatures came forth, as the book of the kings makes clear. Furthermore it is said that Oannes wrote about deeds and virtues, giving humankind words and wisdom."''[http://rbedrosian.com/euseb2.htm]
