Shezmu (alternatively Schesmu and Shesmu) is an ancient Egyptian deity with a contradictory character. He was worshiped from the early Old Kingdom period. [2] He was considered a god of ointments, perfume, and wine. In this role, he was associated with festivities, dancing, and singing.
During an annual festival held at the beginning of the year, a festival of intoxication, the Egyptians danced and played music to soothe the wildness of the goddess and drank great quantities of beer and wine ritually to imitate the extreme drunkenness that stopped the wrath of the goddess—when she almost destroyed humanity.
