Aperetiset is a goddess of Egyptian mythology who had her main place of worship in the Upper Egyptian city of Achmim .
She was depicted wearing the Hathor headdress and occasionally a high crown of feathers. In Achmim she formed a divine triad in the late and Greco-Roman times together with Min and Kolanthes or Horus . Since the goddess Triphis was also considered the "mother of Kolanthes", she merged with her to "Aperetiset in the moon house".
