- Khons: God of the moon. Son of Amon and Mut.
- The third member (with his parents Amen and Mut) of
the great triad of Thebes. Khons was the god of the moon.

the ancient game senet (passage) against Thoth, and wagering a portion of his
light.

Khons cannot show his whole glory for the entire month, but must wax and wane.
