Small Horus Statue | |
|
Horus is the Falcon-
God ‘Lord of the Sky’
and symbol of divine
kingship. The name
Horus is a latinized
form of the
greek “Hores” which
in turn derived from
the Egyptian “Hor”.
This name comes from
the same root as the
Egyptian word
for ‘the high’
or ‘far away’. Horus
was represented
either as a falcon-
headed man or as a
falcon. The sky was
represented by the
wings of Horus and
his two eyes
symbolized the sun
and the moon, with
the right eye being
the sun and the left,
the moon. The
phrase “the eye of
Horus” usually refers
to the moon eye. It
was this eye that was
lost to Seth and
later, after being
recovered, presented
to Osiris to aid him
in his resurrection.
The falcon was sacred
to Horus from the
earliest times and
the image of a falcon
on its perch became
the hieroglyphic
symbol representing
the word “God”. In
ancient Egypt, the
Pharaoh was seen as a
manifestation of
the ‘living Horus’ on
the throne of Egypt
and each succeeding
Pharaoh used the name
of Horus as the first
of his titles. Here,
Horus stands carrying
the ankh in one hand
and the “waas”
scepter in the other.
