Har-Sa-Iset/Harsiesis This is the form of Horus that is most familiar, the son of Osiris and Isis. He was conceived magically after the death of Osiris, and Isis hid him away on an island to protect him from Set. In this form he is worshipped as an infant and is beseeched to gain his mother's protection for the worshipper. Horus Behudety/Horus of Edfu God of the noontime sun. This particular variant was first worshipped in the western Delta and spread south, a cult center being established at Edfu. He is represented by a winged sun or as a lion with the head of a hawk. Horus Behudety fights constantly against Set and an army of darkness to ensure that the sun rises each day. Horus the Elder (Haroeris) An early form of Horus, when his cult was still new in Egypt. A god of light, his left eye was the sun and his rights eye the moon. He was the brother of Osiris and Set, and the husband of Hathor.
