Ra is the Egyptian God of the Sun and the King of the Egyptian Gods, who appears in the Hercules episode "Hercules and the Romans". Alongside Bastet and Khnum, Ra meets the request by the Romans for worshiping deities. But when the three Egyptians arrive to the Eternal City, it is revealed that their real intent is to mold it in the image of their homeland - and, for that, enslave the citizens.
