Horus

Horus, also known as Her, Heru, Hor or Har, was an important Egyptian deity of the sky and the personal protector of the Pharaoh.

Overview
Horus appears in Egyptian mythology in two different personas: Horus the Younger and Horus the Elder.

Horus the Elder was the son of Geb and Nut, the gods of the Earth and the sky, making him also the brother to Osiris, Isis, Nephthys and Set, while Horus the Younger was the son of Osiris and Isis. In both cases Horus serves as the heir of Osiris as the ruler of Egypt, who was betrayed by Set for the throne. Horus eventually avenges Osiris and overthrows/banishes Set from Egypt, and Horus becomes the Pharaoh of Egypt, with every next Pharaoh being viewed as an earthly incarnation of Horus.

Horus is usually paired with Hathor, who is the goddess of love, fertility, cattle, women, motherhood, health, music, and dance, and is the father of the fives sons: Imsety, Duamutef, Hapy and Qebehsenuef, who are four key deities of mummification and Ihy, god s childhood, joy, alcohol and music.
