Step into the swirling sands of ancient Egypt and meet Horus, the falcon-headed god whose piercing eyes watched over gods and mortals alike. This episode uncovers the dramatic saga of Horus—born from the legendary union of Osiris and Isis, raised in the shadow of his father’s murder, and destined to face the chaos-wielding Set in a battle for the soul of the cosmos.


Discover why Horus is more than just a war god or a symbol of kingship. We’ll unravel the meaning behind his dual forms, the epic trials that tested both his strength and cunning, and the cosmic stakes of his war with Set. What does it mean for a god’s eyes to be the sun and the moon—and what lessons linger in his myth about justice, vengeance, and the fragile line between order and chaos?


If you think you know Egyptian mythology, think again. Horus’s tale is where the heavens meet the earth, and every triumph and wound leaves its mark on the world we know.
