Small Seth Statue | |
|
Seth is “He before
whom the sky shakes”,
God of winds and
storms, with
lightning and thunder
his heralds. Early in
Egyptian history,
Seth is spoken of in
terms of reverence.
He was known as the
Lord of Upper Egypt.
Horus being the Lord
of Lower Egypt. It
was Seth who stood in
the bow of the solar
barque of Ra and
slays the enemies of
Ra as the ship
traverses the sky on
its daily journey. It
seems that in very
early times the
followers of Seth
were conquered by the
followers of Horus
but they resisted the
followers of Horus
and the First Dynasty
Pharaoh, Menes when
he united Upper and
Lower Egypt. At this
point, Seth was
discredited and
literally demonized,
and in later periods
was identified with
Apep as a symbol of
complete destruction.
Seth was already
known as a deity of
the night and
darkness. As god of
chaos and
destruction, Seth
represented a
necessary force in
the universe, that of
strength and violent
force which together
with the force of
creation maintains
the balance of the
universe and the
cosmic order that was
so important for the
Egyptians to maintain
and was personified
by the Goddess Maat.
Seth was represented
as a man with the
head of an unknown
animal with square
ears, often called
the “Seth animal”.
