Horus Image
Horus. An Egyptian deity. "On the very earliest monuments we find Horus as the chief god and type of the King; from the first the hawk is his symbol, and there are allusions to his antagonism to Set, so that the later theological ideas seem to be traceable to the time of the first dynasty." (The New International Encyclopaedia, Vol. XI, New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1920, 495-496.)
