- Abstract
Horus is one of the most archaic gods of classical Egyptian pantheon, whose longevity is at least partially attributed to the syncretic incorporation of various smaller cults and gods. In the most advanced forms of the Osirian mythological Corpus, he was characterized as the child of Isis and Osiris, and the omnipotent leader of the univers. According to the Turin Canon the leaders of the predynastic period in Egypt were "the followers of Horus ". The falcon, bak, in the ancient Egyptian whose visual acuity is so high that he is the only animal able to fix their gaze on the sun, is, par excellence, the animal of Horus and the Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian apotropaic symbol and of the royal power from the deities.
