“While his private life is barely mentioned - it seems that he was either self-created, that he was a motherless son of Ra, or that he was, perhaps, the ‘son of two fathers’, born to Seth and Horus. He was married either to the obscure goddess Nehmettawy or to Seshat, the patroness of mathematics, architecture and astronomy, who might also be either his sister or his daughter.
Thoth continually appears as a peripheral character in other people’s tales where, invariably, he acts as a calming influence and displays great wisdom. However, even the most mild mannered of accountants may be capable of violence. The original Thoth, the Thoth who appears in the Pyramid Texts, is an altogether more aggressive knife wielding being, prone to decapitate the enemies of the deceased.”
― The Penguin Book of Myths and Legends of Ancient Egypt, by Joyce Tyldesley
