According to the religious myth of Isis and Osiris, his uncle Seth killed his father and tore his body parts away from the shores of the Nile Valley. His mother Isis gathered the missing pieces of his father together, and they got back to each other again, and they brought Horus. Horus wanted revenge for his father's betrayal; that's why he is sometimes called "the guardian of his father. During the battle between him and his uncle, he lost his left eye, but he won the war, and he got back Egypt's rule. Horus was a great model for all Egyptian kings.

He is known for his noticeably falcon head and piercing gaze. The God of Sky, War, and Kingship, Horus, defines being triumphant, just, and legit divine rule. Such storied and revered qualities make Horus one of the mythological Egyptians. Who was Horus?Horus, Heru in ancient Egyptian culture, was the son of Osiris, Lord of the Underworld, and Isis, a goddess of magic and motherhood. He is called to take justice for the murder of his father and to repress the claim of the chaos god Set over the throne of Egypt.
He was portrayed generally, either as a man with the head of a falcon or else as a whole falcon. He took his representation in divine kingship and protection: his right eye stood for the sun, and his left eye stood for the moon, just to signify that he watches over the world. The Myth of Horus and SetOne of the most celebrated tales told in Egyptian mythology concerns the mythic battle between Horus and Set. After Set killed Osiris and assumed the throne, he raised Horus under the protection of Isis until he had been trained to challenge his uncle.
Horus's birth is unusual, as he was conceived after the death of Osiris. Horus was born from the murder of his father by Seth. After Seth killed and dismembered Osiris, Isis managed to reassemble his pieces and bring him back to life for a few moments with the help of Anubis to conceive Horus.
Their battle was long and fierce, taking diverse forms—from hand-to-hand to shape-shifting duels. During one of those fights, Set tore out the left eye of Horus. It was later restored by the magic of Thoth, the god of wisdom; henceforth, this event produced the famous symbol, the Eye of Horus, which became the most well-known powerful protection, healing, and wealth symbol. After all, the gods named Horus as a rightful ruler of Egypt, thus cementing his status as the divine king and protector of pharaohs.
During the struggle between (Horus) and (Seth), the eye of Horus was torn out by Seth. The latter broke it into six parts. Horus tried to reassemble the parts of the eye and purify them, but a tiny part remained missing. Djehuty, the god of wisdom, brought the eye and added the missing part, then reattached it to Horus's face using the power of magic...
These six portions, which are ½, ¼, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64 in succession, each represent a fraction. These fractions were grouped to form the (one) or the complete form. By adding these fractions, we have a result that reaches only 63/64, not 64/64 as expected, which is equal to (one)... The missing part is the same part that Djehouty had added.
Horus has many important roles. He is the protector of the king and children, and he protects the king's name with Set in the serekh. During the king's coronation feast, Horus is depicted carrying the seat and placing the double crown on his head... In addition, kings are represented by him as a symbol of royalty and legitimacy.
