Horus the Younger, also known as Horus, the son of Isis, is an ancient Egyptian deity who represents the god Horus in his role as the son of Isis and Osiris. He is often depicted as a falcon-headed man or as a young boy, symbolizing youth, healing, and protection. In Egyptian mythology, Horus the Younger is a central figure in the Osiris myth, where he avenges his father Osiris's death by defeating Set, the murderer, and becomes the king of Egypt. The concept of Horus the Younger is deeply intertwined with the pharaohs, who were seen as the living embodiments of Horus on Earth. The name "Horus the Younger" can be translated to Hebrew as חורוס הצעיר (Khorus HaTza'ir). In Greek, he is known as Horus Ho Neos, and in Latin as Horus Minor.
God-child of Greek and Egyptian mythology
Harpocrates is the god of silence, secrets and confidentiality in the Hellenistic religion developed in Ptolemaic Alexandria. Greeks adapted Harpocrates from the Egyptian child-god Horus, who represented the newborn sun, rising each day at dawn. The name "Harpocrates" originated as a Hellenization of the Egyptian Har-pa-khered or Heru-pa-khered, meaning "Horus the Child".
