Horus
Gods - Egyptian Mythology
Horus (or Heru-sa-Aset, Her'ur, Hrw, Hr, Hor-Hekenu or Ra-Hoor-Khuit) is the god of the heavens, the Living and the War, although their conception occurred after Osiris . Horus was the son of Osiris and Isis.
He had a hawk's head and his eyes represented the sun and moon. He killed Set, both for revenge for the death of his father, Osiris, and for the dispute over the command of Egypt.
Story
After defeating Set, he became king of the living in Egypt. He lost an eye fighting Set, which was replaced by a serpent amulet (which the Pharaohs used in front of the crowns), the Eye of Horus (formerly called the Ra Eye), symbolized the royal power and was a of the most used amulets in Egypt in all ages. After the recovery, Horus was able to organize new combats that led to the decisive victory over Set.
The eye that Horus struck (the left eye) is the eye of the Moon, the other is the eye of the Sun. This is an explanation of the Egyptians for the phases of the moon, which would be the injured eye of Horus.
The Egyptian Eye of Horus became an important symbol of power called the Wedjat, which in addition to providing power removed the evil eye, for according to the Egyptians the eyes were the mirrors of the soul.
According to a legend spread in Ancient Egypt, Horus was conceived by Isis, when Osiris, his father, was already dead. Legend suggests that fertilization occurred when Isis, in the form of a bird, landed on her husband's mummy, who was lying on a couch.
A stela dated from 1400 BCE (today kept in the Louvre Museum).
