Then, the gods listened to Horus' claim of having dominated Set, and call his semen forth, and it answered from inside Set.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Tomb_TT3_of_Pashedu_(Kairoinfo4u).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Tomb_TT3_of_Pashedu_%28Kairoinfo4u%29.jpg/220px-Tomb_TT3_of_Pashedu_%28Kairoinfo4u%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="166" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Tomb_TT3_of_Pashedu_%28Kairoinfo4u%29.jpg/330px-Tomb_TT3_of_Pashedu_%28Kairoinfo4u%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Tomb_TT3_of_Pashedu_%28Kairoinfo4u%29.jpg/440px-Tomb_TT3_of_Pashedu_%28Kairoinfo4u%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2288" data-file-height="1728" /></a><figcaption>A personified Eye of Horus offers incense to the enthroned god <a href="/wiki/Osiris" title="Osiris">Osiris</a> in a painting from the tomb of <a href="/wiki/Pashedu" title="Pashedu">Pashedu</a>, thirteenth century BC<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEWilkinson199242–43_35-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWilkinson199242–43-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></figcaption></figure> <p>However, Set still refused to relent, and the other gods were getting tired from over eighty years of fighting and challenges. Horus and Set challenged each other to a boat race, where they each raced in a boat made of stone. Horus and Set agreed, and the race started. But Horus had an edge: his boat was made of wood painted to resemble stone, rather than true stone. Set's boat, being made of heavy stone, sank, but Horus' did not. Horus then won the race, and Set stepped down and officially gave Horus the throne of Egypt.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_36-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-36"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Upon becoming king after Set's defeat, Horus gives offerings to his deceased father Osiris, thus reviving and sustaining him in the afterlife.

This division can be equated with any of several fundamental dualities that the Egyptians saw in their world. Horus may receive the fertile lands around the Nile, the core of Egyptian civilization, in which case Set takes the barren desert or the foreign lands that are associated with it; Horus may rule the earth while Set dwells in the sky; and each god may take one of the two traditional halves of the country, Upper and Lower Egypt, in which case either god may be connected with either region.

The cases in which the combatants divide the kingdom, and the frequent association of the paired Horus and Set with the union of Upper and Lower Egypt, suggest that the two deities represent some kind of division within the country. Egyptian tradition and archaeological evidence indicate that Egypt was united at the beginning of its history when an Upper Egyptian kingdom, in the south, conquered Lower Egypt in the north. The Upper Egyptian rulers called themselves "followers of Horus", and Horus became the tutelary deity of the unified polity and its kings. Yet Horus and Set cannot be easily equated with the two halves of the country. Both deities had several cult centers in each region, and Horus is often associated with Lower Egypt and Set with Upper Egypt. Other events may have also affected the myth. Before even Upper Egypt had a single ruler, two of its major cities were <a href="/wiki/Nekhen" class="mw-redirect" title="Nekhen">Nekhen</a>, in the far south, and <a href="/wiki/Nagada" class="mw-redirect" title="Nagada">Nagada</a>, many miles to the north. The rulers of Nekhen, where Horus was the patron deity, are generally believed to have unified Upper Egypt, including Nagada, under their sway. Set was associated with Nagada, so it is possible that the divine conflict dimly reflects an enmity between the cities in the distant past. Much later, at the end of the <a href="/wiki/Second_Dynasty_of_Egypt" title="Second Dynasty of Egypt">Second Dynasty</a> (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 2890–2686 BCE</span>), Pharaoh <a href="/wiki/Seth-Peribsen" title="Seth-Peribsen">Seth-Peribsen</a> used the <a href="/wiki/Set_animal" title="Set animal">Set animal</a> to write his <a href="/wiki/Serekh" title="Serekh">serekh</a> name in place of the falcon hieroglyph representing Horus. His successor <a href="/wiki/Khasekhemwy" title="Khasekhemwy">Khasekhemwy</a> used both Horus and Set in the writing of his serekh. This evidence has prompted conjecture that the Second Dynasty saw a clash between the followers of the Horus king and the worshippers of Set led by Seth-Peribsen. Khasekhemwy's use of the two animal symbols would then represent the reconciliation of the two factions, as does the resolution of the myth.<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Golden_Horus_Osiris">Golden Horus Osiris</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Horus&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Golden Horus Osiris"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Horus gradually took on the nature as both the son of Osiris and Osiris himself.

According to Plutarch's account, Heru-ur was believed to be the son of Geb and Nut, born on the second of the five intercalary days at the end of the year, after Osiris and before Set, Isis, and Nephthys. Plutarch also records a variant tradition that assigns different fathers to Nut's children: Osiris and Heru-ur are attributed to Nut and Ra, Isis to Nut and Thoth, while Nephthys and Set are said to be the children of Nut and Geb. Additionally, similar to other manifestations of Horus, Heru-ur is sometimes regarded as the child of Isis and Osiris, conceived by the pair while still within the womb of Nut.<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>47<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Plutarch aims to distinguish between the child form of Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis, and 'Haroëris' whom he referrs to as 'the elder Horus'. Haroëris is the hellenized version of the Egyptian epithet 'Horus-wer', which directly translates to 'Horus the Great,' a term first appearing in Papyrus Spell 588, likely to differentiate Horus of the royal cult from lesser forms of Horus. However, ancient Egyptian texts do not maintain a distinction between a Horus the Elder and a 'younger' Horus. Horus-wer is also sometimes referred to as the son of Osiris and Isis, and 'wer' is a common epithet for ancient Egyptian gods and does not imply a separation between older and younger deities into two different generations.<sup id="cite_ref-52" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Heru-ur was sometimes depicted fully as a falcon; he was sometimes given the title <b>Kemwer</b>, meaning "(the) great black (one)".<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

However, his image as a child deity was not firmly established until the first millennium BCE, when Egyptian theologians began associating child gods with adult gods. From a historical perspective, Harpocrates is an artificial creation, originating from the priesthood of Thebes and later gaining popularity in the cults of other cities. His first known depiction dates to a stele from Mendes, erected during the reign of Sheshonq III (22nd Libyan Dynasty), commemorating a donation by the flutist Ânkhhorpakhered. Initially, Harpocrates originated as a duplicate of Khonsu-pa-khered, providing a child-god figure for the funerary gods Osiris and Isis. Unlike Horus, who was traditionally depicted as an adult, Khonsu, the lunar god, was inherently associated with youth. The cults of Harpocrates and Khonsu originally merged in a sanctuary within the Mut enclosure at Karnak. This sanctuary, later transformed into a mammisi (birth house) under the 21st Dynasty, celebrated the divine birth of the pharaoh, connecting the queen mother with the mother-goddesses Mut and Isis. The merging of local Theban beliefs with the Osiris cult endowed Harpocrates with dual ancestry, as seen in inscriptions at Wadi Hammamat which name him 'Horus-the-child, son of Osiris and Isis, the Elder, the first-born of Amun.' The Osirian tradition solidified Harpocrates as the archetype of child-gods, firmly integrated into the Osirian family.<sup id="cite_ref-55" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-55"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Heru-Behdeti_(Horus_of_Behdet)"><span id="Heru-Behdeti_.28Horus_of_Behdet.29"></span>Heru-Behdeti (Horus of <a href="/wiki/Behdet" class="mw-redirect" title="Behdet">Behdet</a>)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Horus&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Heru-Behdeti (Horus of Behdet)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_winged_sun" class="mw-redirect" title="Ancient Egyptian winged sun">winged sun</a> of Horus of <a href="/wiki/Edfu" title="Edfu">Edfu</a> is a symbol in associated with <a href="/wiki/Divinity" title="Divinity">divinity</a>, <a href="/wiki/Royal_family" title="Royal family">royalty</a>, and power in ancient Egypt.<sup id="cite_ref-:02_56-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:02-56"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The winged sun is symbolic also of the eternal soul.
