Characters

Character Details of Horus's Creation myth:

Horus: Horus the the Hawk-God, he became the most powerful and of kingly stature in the Egyptian culture. He represents a strong fighter and a smart mind. He is always on the look out for his evil uncle, Set, who is constantly chasing him and attempting to dispatch him to gain power for himself. In Horus's creation myth he is the main character, he was born to Isis and Osiris. He battles Set to regain his rightful spot on the throne and become the King of Egypt. After a course of many small sided challenges that Set won by cheating a final competition is held. Horus outsmarts his uncle who is enraged and a huge fight emerges. Set injures Horus's eye but Horus manages to kill Set and win power and control back.

Isis: Horus's mother, she is often the kind and sensitive god that listened to prays and was friends of    he slaves as well as common and royal people. Isis is viewed as the perfect mother and a role model to follow. She also has very strong and magical powers. In Horus's creation myth she plays the role of his mother and takes pity on Set

Osiris: The father of Horus who was killed by Set long before Horus was born. Isis with help from Nepthys brought Osiris back to life just long enough to make her pregnant so she could have a child in memory of him and a child of theirs.

Nepthys: Nepthys is the wife of Set. After Set murdered Osiris, Isis could not stop crying for days Nepthys took sympathy on her. To make Isis feel better Nepthys turned on Set and helped Isis find all the scattered parts of Osiris's body to give Isis a child.

Set: Horus's evil uncle, Set assassinated Osiris to gain power for himself. When Horus was born and as he grew he formed his own thoughts and decided that Set had unrightfully taken control and power of what should have been his. From that moment on Set and Horus hated, tricked, and battled each other for years until Horus finally won.

Geb/Nut: The Sky God and  The Earth Goddess created the four gods: Set, Isis, Osiris, and Nepthys
