Horus is mentioned in one of the ancient Egyptian myths and was considered a symbol of goodness and justice. His father was Osiris, the god of resurrection and judgment in ancient Egyptian belief.

According to the religious myth, his evil uncle Set killed his father and scattered his body parts throughout Egypt. His mother, Isis, gathered the pieces of Osiris’s body — this act is regarded as the first mummification — and she then conceived Horus from her deceased husband.

Horus was born afterward and sought to avenge his father’s death and defeat his uncle Set, which is why he is sometimes called “the protector of his father.”

During the fierce battle, Horus lost his left eye, and eventually, he ascended the throne of Egypt.

Isis was a major goddess in the ancient Egyptian religion, whose worship later spread throughout the Greco-Roman world.

Isis was first mentioned during the Old Kingdom of Egypt (2686–2181 B.C.) as one of the central figures in the myth of Osiris. She resurrected her divine husband, Osiris, after he had been slain, gave birth to their heir Horus, and protected him.

It was believed that Isis guided the dead to the afterlife, just as she had helped Osiris, and that she served as the divine mother of the pharaoh, who was identified with her son Horus.

Her maternal aid was also expressed through healing spells that served to help the common people.

Originally, Isis played only a minor role in royal hymns and temple rituals, but she became far more significant in funerary rites and magical texts.

In art, she was often depicted as a human woman wearing a throne-shaped crown on her head.

During the New Kingdom, she adopted many of the characteristics of Hathor, the previously dominant goddess—Isis came to be depicted wearing Hathor’s clothing, with a solar disk between cow horns on her head, just as Hathor had once been portrayed.
