from
Wikipedia
The Egyptian gods had complex interrelationships, which partly reflected the interaction of the forces they represented.
Other combinations linked independent deities based on the symbolic meaning of numbers in Egyptian mythology ; for instance, pairs of deities usually represent the duality of opposite phenomena.
One of the more common combinations was a family triad consisting of a father, mother, and child, who were worshipped together.
One such group, the Ennead, assembled nine deities into a theological system that was involved in the mythological areas of creation, kingship, and the afterlife.
