Horus is the god of living pharaohs and war. He is the son of the gods Osiris and Isis and is the nephew of Set. Like his parents and uncle, Horus is one of the oldest figures in Egyptian mythology.
The worship of Horus was widespread in Egypt and was a main religion. This was so as Horus was the patron of the pharaohs, who ruled Egypt. He protected and acted as a guide to the kings too.
Horus avenged his father’s murder by battling Set.
