Horus

47

Horus, the falcon-headed god of kingship and the sky, is a significant figure in Egyptian mythology. Son of Isis and Osiris, he embodies power, protection, and justice. Often depicted with a falcon head or as a falcon itself, Horus symbolizes the pharaoh's divine authority and guardianship over Egypt. He is also associated with war and victory, as well as with the sun and its daily journey across the sky. Horus's legends are intertwined with the struggle against Seth, his uncle, who killed his father Osiris, making him a symbol of triumph over adversity and the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
