Falcon cults, which were in evidence from late predynastic times, were widespread in Egypt. Horus appeared as a local god in many places and under different names and epithetsâfor instance, as Harmakhis (Har-em-akhet, âHorus in the Horizonâ), Harpocrates (Har-pe-khrad, âHorus the Childâ), Harsiesis (Har-si-Ese, âHorus, Son of Isisâ), Harakhte (âHorus of the Horizon,â closely associated with the sun god Re), and, at Kawm UmbĆ« (Kom Ombo), as Haroeris (Harwer, âHorus the Elderâ). At Nekhen (Greek: Hierakonpolis), however, the conception arose that the reigning king was a manifestation of Horus, and, after Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt had been united by the kings from Nekhen, this notion became a generally accepted dogma. The most important of an Egyptian kingâs names (the number of which grew from three in early dynastic times to five later) was his Horus nameâi.e., the name that identified him with Horus. This name appeared on monuments and tombs in a rectangular frame called a serekh.In addition to being characterized by a Horus name, the king was typically depicted with a hovering form of Horus above his head. Sometimes Horus is shown as a winged sun disk, representing the Horus of Behdet, a town in the Nile River delta where the falcon-god enjoyed a cult. From the 1st dynasty (c. 2925â2775 BCE) onward, Horus and the god Seth were presented as perpetual antagonists who were reconciled in the harmony of Upper and Lower Egypt. In the myth of Osiris, who became prominent about 2350 BCE, Horus was the son of Osiris and Isis and was the nephew of Seth, Osirisâs brother. When Seth murdered Osiris and contested Horusâs heritage (the royal throne of Egypt), Horus became Sethâs enemy. Horus eventually defeated Seth, thus avenging his father and assuming the rule. In the fight, Horusâs left eye (i.e., the moon) was damagedâthis being a mythical explanation of the moonâs phasesâand was healed by the god Thoth. The figure of the restored eye (the wedjat eye) became a powerful amulet. Horus is also associated (sometimes as son, sometimes as partner) with the ancient cow-goddess Hathor, who is often depicted with cowâs horns, sometimes with cowâs ears. In the Ptolemaic period the vanquishing of Seth became a symbol of Egypt triumphing over its occupiers. At IdfĆ«, where rebellions frequently interrupted work on the temple, a ritual drama depicting Horus as pharaoh spearing Seth in the guise of a hippopotamus was periodically enacted. .
