Ennead
Heliopolis divine council
The Ennead is a group of nine Egyptian deities centered at Heliopolis, including Atum, Shu, Tefnut, Geb, Nut, Osiris, Isis, Set, and Nephthys.
In philosophy, the Enneads refers to the collected writings of the Neoplatonist philosopher Plotinus, organized into six groups of nine treatises by his student Porphyry. (Lowercase ennead is any group of nine.)
