Horus (/ h ɔː r ə s /), [c] also known as Heru, Har, Her, or Hor (/ h ɔː r /) [d] [6] in Ancient Egyptian, is one of the most significant ancient Egyptian deities who served many functions, most notably as the god of kingship, healing, protection, the sun, and the sky.
A Ptolemaic inscription from the Khonsu Temple in Thebes describes Khonsu and the sun god as bulls crossing the sky and meeting in the east as "the two illuminators of the heavens". This meeting of the two bulls is theorized to either refer to the arrival of the full moon or the simultaneous presence of the sun and moon in the sky.
In Greek mythology, Orus (Ancient Greek: Ὦρος, accusative Ὦρον 'Horus') may refer to two different characters Orus, the "first to be born" in the land about the Troezen [1] and also first king of that kingdom which was then called Oraea after him. He had a daughter Leis who consorted with the sea-god Poseidon.
Among the Egyptians, the full-grown Horus was considered the victorious god of the sun who each day overcomes darkness. He is often represented with the head of a Eurasian sparrowhawk, which was sacred to him, as the hawk flies high above the Earth. Horus fought battles against Set, until he finally achieved victory and became the ruler of Egypt.
On the near left of Horus is the god Ra-Horakhty, which is the combination of the two sky gods Horus and Ra, standing on a serpent, and surrounding both of them are two divine symbols. On the far left of the relief is Horus's mother Isis standing upon a serpent, and on her left is the standard of the vulture goddess Nekhbet, patron of the south.
