How Horus of Egypt became Ares of Greece and then Odin of Scandinavia
It was purely by chance that I discovered how Horus of Egypt became the fearsome god of war, Ares in Greece, and later the terrifying Odin in Scandinavia.
Initially, Horus was not a god but a mere mortal. The goddess Isis, unable to have a legitimate child, adopted Horus from a young age.
Living among the gods, the young man received a special drink that greatly increased his physical strength. In Greece, Horus was called Hercules, a demigod of colossal strength.
Taking up arms to defend Egypt, Horus became an invincible warrior, capable of defeating entire armies on his own. In Greece, he became Ares, the powerful and invincible god of war.
However, his thirst for power and the glory of battle led him down a dangerous path. From protector, he became conqueror, thirsting for blood and war. His actions, becoming increasingly reckless, led him to commit an unforgivable betrayal, which banished him from Egypt and exiled him to the icy lands of Scandinavia. There, under the name Odin, he became the god of warriors, a figure both revered and feared.
Let's explore together the incredible story of Horus, a complex character who embodies both greatness and downfall, and who left an indelible mark on the mythologies of the ancient world.
