Horus - God of Vengeance

In ancient Egypt, Horus was a particularly remarkable divinity. The son of Osiris and Isis, Horus, was said to have ruled Egypt after exacting revenge for his father's murder. The sky was also ruled by Horus. From about 3000 BC until the end of Egyptian history, he was revered.


He is one of the gods in the Egyptian pantheon whose importance has been attested since the beginning of written history. According to mythology, Horus was born at Khemmis in the Nile delta region. His mother was Isis, and according to a complicated family tree, he had three different names: Horus, Horus the child (Harpokrates), and Horus the Elder.


According to legend, he established himself as Egypt's first king following an eighty-year power war with his adversary and brother Seth. Horus lost one of his eyes in his bloody conflict with Seth, the brother of his deceased father; this eye would later become known as the "Eye of Horus" or Wadjet. Egyptian mythology states that the eye began to weep as the other gods tried to catch it, and the tears of the eye became the first inhabitants of Egypt. Even though his mother replaced the eye, the story became renowned folklore. The image can stand for the safety of royalty, perfection, and defense against Seth's wicked influence.


The falcon is the emblem of Horus, who is typically portrayed as either fully human or as a human with a falcon's head.
