Throughout ages, many brave kings have ruled Egypt. Some of them got weak. Some others were attacked by strong armies, and many faced betrayal from the closest. But after all, Egypt kings get back stronger and seek for revenge just like our king here Horus.
God Horus of the sky and protector of kingship according to the ancient Egyptian religion, mostly depicted in the form of a falcon, the son of Isis and Osiris was conceived after the rebirth of the father whom he avenged and succeeded; he is the god to whom every ruling pharaoh identified himself.
Horus is the god of the sun. He was the symbol of good and faith. His father was Osiris who was the god as well for the ancient Egyptians even after his death as mentioned in the book of the dead.
According to the religious myth of Isis and Osiris, his uncle Seth killed his father and tore his body parts way among the shores of the Nile Valley. His mother Isis gathered the missing pieces of his father together and they got back to each other again, and they brought Horus. Horus wanted revenge for his father’s betrayal that’s why he is sometimes called “the guardian of his father”. During the battle between him and his uncle, he lost his left eye but he won the war and he got back Egypt’s rule. Horus was a great model for all Egyptian kings. As he got his father’s throne and killed his evil uncle. He also ruled Egypt wisely and fairly.
Since all ruling pharaohs identified with Horus, Isis was consequently his divine mother. Worshiped as patroness of women, goddess of love, and purity, her cult experienced a widespread in the Roman empire.
