ΒΟΥΒΑΣΤΙΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΙΓΥΠΤΟΣ
(Boubastis) or Bubastus (Boubastas). The capital of the Nomos
Bubastites in Lower Egypt, which stood on the eastern bank of the Pelusiac branch
of the Nile, and was the chief seat of the worship of the goddess Bubastis (Pasht),
whom the Greeks identified with Artemis, and who was regarded as the daughter
of Ra and bride of Ptah, symbolizing the sexual passion. More than 70,000 persons
sometimes took part in her festivals at this place. Here also the cats sacred
to Bubastis were buried. The modern name of the city is Tel Bast. Here in 1887
the French explorer, M. Naville, discovered the ruins of the great temple of Bubastis,
and further excavations in 1888 showed the city to have been a very important
place under the Hyksos.
