Baal Hammon

Baal Hammon was a Phoenician god, especially worshipped at the city of Hammon (Umm al-'Awamid). He was also worshipped at Carthage and, during the Greek period, in Egypt, where he was associated with Chronos, presumably because the cult of the gods called Baals or Baalim was related to the sacrifice of babies, and Chronos devoured his own children. Very little is known on him.

His name means Lord of Hammon

Other spellings: Hammon.
