In Egyptian mythology, Nepit was a goddess of grain, and the female counterpart of Neper. This goddess represented the prosperity of the barley and wheat crops which the ancient Egyptians cultivated. Pictured as a woman, Nepit’s body was dotted to represent grains of corn. The hieroglyphs that write her name similarly include the symbols of grain. Nepit’s mother was Renenutet.
