Egypt (Imperator Augustus) Level 2

Shrine of Horus

Horus, bringer of the dawn and of wisdom, gives much to the people.

Horus was commonly depicted as a falcon-headed man, or just as a falcon, but he had many aspects and responsibilities. During the time of the Ptolemaic dynasty and under the Romans he was worshipped as the son of Osiris and Isis, and as the god of the sky. He was also a god of war and a divine vengeance taker, due to his war against Set to avenge Osiris’ death. In another aspect, Horus the Elder was worshipped as the patron of pharaohs, a giver of great wisdom. Many temples, such as the Temple of Horus the Elder at Kom Ombo were rebuilt by the Ptolemaic pharaohs. Ptolemy VI Philometor is the earliest ruler named in any inscriptions at the complex; construction probably began under him, but certainly finished after his reign. Ptolemy VI Philometor was, of course, Greek, but was wise enough to follow local traditions.
