Description
Horus was the Egyptian solar god and protector of the monarchy who symbolized courage and victory. Although he was represented as many different manifestations he is famous for the mythology relating to the ‘Osiris myth’ in which he took revenge on the evil Set for murdering Osiris and usurping his throne. Horus then became the mythical king of Egypt.
The kings of Egypt associated themselves with Horus. Horus was among the most important gods of Egypt, particularly because the Pharaoh was supposed to be his earthly embodiment. Kings would eventually take the name of Horus as one of their own.
