Osiris in Greco-Roman Time

Serapis, the new
shapeof Osiris in
Greco-Roman time

Finally, in Egypt, the Hellenic pharaohs decided to raise a deity  that  would  be  acceptable  to  both  the  local  Egyptian population,  and  the  influx  of  Hellenic  visitors,  to  bring  the  two aggroup together, rather than allow a source of rising to grow. Thus Osiris was identified explicitly with Apis, real an aspect of Ptah, who had already been discovered as Osiris by this point, and a syncretism  of  the  2  was  created,  famous  as  Serapis,  and showed as a standard Greek god.

Horus as Sky god

From advance Egyptian prehistory times, the (concretist) understanding of the existence (described above) led to a complex recognition between deities, their animal delegacies / incarnations, and factors of the natural order. It was in this linguistic context that Horus, the best-famous of the falcon-headed gods, emerged. As a sky god, he "was supposed as a heavenly falcon whose right eye was the sun and left eye the moon. The laced feathers of his breast were probably stars and his flies the skywith their downsweep making the winds". The popularity of Horus led to his last eclipsing of different other falcon gods, including Nekheny (literally "falcon"), the frequenter of Nekhen (the city of the hawk), and Khenty-Kety, the sponsor of Athribis. One bad symbol affiliated with Horus in his divine incarnation was the djed pillar, which was understood to represent the "pillar holding the sky old the earth".

These divine connotations were searched in greater point in the myths, rituals, and iconographic portraying that characterized Horus as a solar deity.

Horus as a Child (Harpokrates)

God Horus as a Child

As a child, God Horus was famous as Harpokrates, "the babe Horus", and was portrayed as a baby being suckled by Isis. He was said to be common from the waist down. This may be because his father was gone when he was considered or possibly because he was born untimely. In later times he was affiliated with the newborn sun. Harpokrates is pictured as a child nursing his thumb and having his hair fashioned in a sidelock that symbolized his youth. On his head he wore the royal crown and uraeus. Also, in Egyptian art, such as the representative to the right, Harpokrates is presented as a child with the sidelock of youth straight on crocodiles and holding in one hand scorpions and in the other hand snakes.
