Eye of Horus, also known as udyat, symbol for power and protection, was also considered one of the most important amulets in Ancient Egypt, and was widely used as a representation of strength, safety and health.
The Egyptian god of the rising sun was represented as a hawk. It was the personification of light and had as enemy Seth, the god of disorder and violence. The Egyptian God was the son of Isis and Osiris.
Seth, only reigned in the deserts, a fact that aroused tremendous envy in him. So he prepared a trap and murdered Osiris, quartering him in 14 pieces, thus becoming the new king of Egypt. Isis, the wife of Osiris, after gathering all the parts of her husband, managed to resurrect it and united itself sexually to him.
The result of this copulation is Horus, who was born hidden in an island of Delta. In order to avenge the death of his father, the already adult Horus confronts Seth, and, during the battle, has its left eye plucked by the enemy that ended up being replaced by an amulet, and then gave origin to what today is known as the eye of Horus.
Despite this, the son of Osiris succeeded in defeating the god of chaos, which made him the new king of Egypt, while his eye, theoretically shattered into six parts, became the symbol of the union of the human eye with the vision of the hawk , which was his symbolic animal.
Horus was known by different names: Harakhte, Harpócrates, Haroeris, among other names.
