In "The Red Pyramid," a character, Thoth, addresses Sadie, expressing disbelief at her claim of not recognizing him. He introduces himself with various names such as Djehuti, and reacts with offense when Sadie humorously mispronounces his name. Thoth highlights the differences between himself and Hermes, noting how the Greeks mistakenly conflated their identities and even renamed his sacred city, Hermopolis, in a way that he finds irreverent.

This exchange reflects the themes of identity and cultural misunderstanding common in the story. Thoth's frustration with the Greeks shows how mythological figures can be misrepresented across different cultures, while significant figures like him retain their own distinct identities and stories, emphasizing the rich tapestry of mythology that the characters navigate throughout their journey.
