Horus is the patron saint of pharaohs in ancient Egyptian mythology, the symbol of royal power, and also the god of revenge. He is the son of Osiris and Isis, the Hades. His image is a god with an eagle (falcon) head, wearing an Egyptian crown, a linen skirt around the waist, and holding a Voss (energy) cane and Anka (life) symbol.
Like many other gods, the nature of Horus, as well as his stories and legends, has been changing with the development of history. Horus can be seen as a combination of many other gods related to imperial power and sky. Most of these gods are sun gods.
In the early period of ancient Egyptian mythology, he and Osiris, Seth, Isis and Nefertis were the children of Gebu and Nute, the second son of Gebu and Nute, and the husband of Serkate. Later, he became the son of Osiris and Isis, and the husband of Hathor.
Heru ur (also known as Harmerti Hamerdi) is the earliest version of Horus. He is a falcon shaped god of creation. His eyes are the sun and the moon. When the new moon appears, he becomes a blind man, called Mekhenty er irty (meaning the blind); When his eyesight recovered, he was also called Khenty irty (meaning seeing). Horus is very dangerous when he is blind. He sometimes mistook his friends for enemies and attacked. He is the grandson of Gebu and Nute and the patron saint of Letopolis.
Horus as a child is called Har pa khered (meaning Horus as a child, which is called Harpocrates in Greek), the son of Osiris and Isis or Banebdjetet and Hatmehit. He is depicted as a naked boy with fingers, sitting on a lotus flower with his mother. Horus in this form is a fertility god, who often carries a cornucopia. During the Roman Empire, the image of Har pa Khered was widely spread, when he was depicted riding a goose or a ram (note that his father Banebdjetet was a ram god).
Later Horus was definitely identified as the body of Osiris and the son of Isis (or the locust tree that emerged from Saucis). This is often cited as "the Horus" in many academic works.
As Har nedj itef (called Harendotes in Greek), Horus was Osiris' guard in Duat in the underworld.
As Behedti, Horus is Behdet (now Edfu), where his image is closely related to the falcon.
As a Chenti rti, Horus was an eagle god in charge of law and order.
Later, Horus began to combine with the image of the sun god Ra. Especially in Heliopolis, it began to be called Ra Herekhty (also known as Ra Heru akhety, Herakhety (meaning Horus on the double horizon), Har em akhet (meaning Horus on the horizon), Horakhety, Harmachis), and turned to the sun god.
Anhur is the name of Horus when he was a combination with Shu.
The Revenge of Horus
Long, long ago, there was a beautiful and mysterious kingdom by the holy Nile, which was ancient Egypt. Osiris, a messenger sent by the great sun god Ra, and his wife Isis ruled the land. One day, Osiris' brother Seth came to this peaceful and peaceful land, and Osiris took him in. However, Osiris had evil thoughts about his wife Nefertis. For his wife, Seth finally killed his brother at a banquet: Seth made a beautiful coffin made of precious wood, which was decorated with beautiful gems and gold, and was tailored to his brother's figure. At the banquet, he declared that "the person who can lie perfectly in the box will get this coffin". He shut his brother inside, covered the lid, washed it with boiling lead water, and threw it into the Nile. Osiris' wife Isis found Osiris' body in the jungle, and hid it in the swamp to revive her husband. But Seth, who went hunting, found it. He divided his brother into 15 pieces and threw them into all corners of Egypt. Although Isis found his body again, only 13 pieces were found, and the genitals were eaten by fish. Anubis assisted Isis to mix the broken meat together and make the first mummy with the mummy shroud, so Osiris only revived for one night and gave birth to a son, Horus, to avenge him. (The 14th trunk of Osiris, the penis was not found at last, but Isis carved one with olive wood instead.)
But as Horus grew up day by day, Isis's yearning for Osiris and hatred for Seth also deepened. Finally, on the day Horus came of age, she told everything to her smart, handsome and burly son. After hearing this, Horus was very angry and wanted to go back to Egypt immediately to avenge his father (Isis tried to stop him, but the fledgling Horus drew a sword and cut off Isis's head, and Isis was finally cured by Tod). At this time, the god of wisdom, Tod, appeared in front of him and told him that he could not fight the cruel Seth with his current strength, The first task is to find the double-sided crown of kingship and the scepter and flail that can possess divine power. Horus has traveled through countless countries and successively met the god of music and dance, Bester, the goddess of heaven, the god of atmosphere, Shu, the god of moon, and even the father of gods, Ra Shen. He found his father Osiris's double-sided crown, hook and flail, which symbolized kingship, through devout worship, fearless fighting, or extraordinary wisdom, This is a small city in the south of ancient Egypt. The residents of the city are eager to return to their homeland in the age of Osiris. The arrival of Horus brought hope to all the people in the city. Horus was supported by the residents of the city. Soon, other towns around him also joined in. Then Horus had his own army. He led this brave army to Thebes, the capital of Egypt. Before that, the weapons used by the ancient Egyptians were all primitive stone tools. Horus first invented the use of iron and installed it on the tip of an arrow. The practice of war has proved that this weapon is powerful and convenient to use. Horus's army came to Thebes, and Seth gathered his own army. In order to win, Seth used magic to turn the soldiers into strong crocodiles and hippos. A great war has begun. This cruel war lasted for seven years. In the final battle, Horus used the magic power given by his father Osiris to turn into a sun disk with wings, flew up to the sky, and killed Seth cruelly with royalty and flail. This battle was seen by the passing Ra God. After the war, Ra God had to appoint Horus as the new king of ancient Egypt to rule this fertile and magnificent land.
Horus and Sekhmet

The omnipotent sun god Ra became the creator of the universe with his powerful power. He created heaven and earth, created gods and people, and then ruled them wisely. God has ruled for tens of thousands of years; The body of Ra finally became weak in years, and gradually aging replaced the glory of the past, and disintegrated instead of prosperity. So after human beings rushed to worship Ra, they began to mercilessly laugh, quarrel, and slander... Ra finally became angry, and he sent his daughter Sekhmet to the world to punish human beings. The lion god Sekhmet is the most ferocious among the goddesses. She is as violent as a lioness, and her hobby is to drink human blood. Sekhmet took action. She came to the world and ruthlessly destroyed the enemies of Ra God. The earth was full of victims' bones. Ancient Egypt became a sea of blood. Horus, the king of ancient Egypt, was also unable to defeat the lioness because she had the divine incantation of Ra, so Horus came to Heliubis, the sun city, to ask for help from the almighty Ra, but the old Ra was also powerless, because the incantation was given to Sekhmet as a gift when Ra was young, to protect her from being harmed when she completed the will of Ra. Now Sekhmet is doing evil with the will of Ra, The aged Ra God could not take back the will protected by the incantation. When he was at a loss, the god of wisdom, Tod, appeared. He said that there was a kind of sleep fruit (namely pomegranate) in the distant island of Philae. His fruit juice was the same color as human blood, which could be mixed into wine, so that Sekhmet could think it was human blood and drink it, so that she could fall asleep, thus lifting the will of the god. But to reach the distant Philae Island, you must pass through the twelve kingdoms of the Night Kingdom, which is no longer under the jurisdiction of God La, but is now ruled by the powerful snake god Apophis. To pass through these twelve kingdoms, you must find twelve night goddesses. They are river gods, and only they know the path through these twelve kingdoms. Therefore, Horus embarked on the journey of searching for the fruits of sleep. In order to save human beings, he will never move forward. After a contest of wisdom, Horus gained the trust of the twelve night goddesses and began his journey through the night kingdom. Horus has successively passed through twelve dark kingdoms: the river of Ra, the kingdom of Wunus, the magical river, the country of cemeteries, the country of concealment, the country of sources, the country of caves, the country of paradise, the country of rapids, the country of Ra, the country of caves, and the country of resurrection, and successively joined forces with the crocodile god Sobek, the fierce god Anet, the god of sin Babara, the god of cemeteries, the god of tea falcons, the god of resurrection, the god Halabi, the god Heliubis who betrayed Ra All kinds of evil and ferocious snake demons met with the powerful snake god Apophis, the ruler of the Kingdom of Night. Horus came to Philae with difficulty after countless deadly battles, picked the fruits of sleep, and brought them back to Sun City. Horus followed the method of Thoth, the God of Wisdom, and mixed the juice into the barley wine of the seven kilometer Keyale. He poured the wine into the vast fields as human blood, and tricked Sekhmet to drink it. After Sekhmet drank it, he became drunk and fell asleep, and his will to be protected by the divine incantation was lifted.
