the patron of royal authority, his name was included in the titles and names of several pharaohs. Set is a warrior god with red burning eyes. ... Later, he was demonized and became the antagonist in the dualistic struggle between Horus and Set, personifying world evil. Horus and Set can also merge into a single two-headed deity, Heru-Behutet. Set was the patron of distant lands and foreigners.”
So, we see that Set is one of the three main gods representing war. But further, it turns out that there is a dark force, though it is still a hand of God, and then there is an external force. This external force is named Apophis: “In Egyptian mythology, Apophis is a gigantic serpent embodying darkness and evil, an original force representing Chaos, and an eternal enemy of the sun god Ra. Apophis’s mission was to engulf the sun and plunge the Earth into eternal darkness. He often represents a collective image of all enemies of the sun. Apophis is also known as Apep and Apophis in Greek.” So, Apophis is to be distinguished. It turns out there is a main God, under whom there are three gods, one of whom is the god of war, but they are considered in a good sense, as “God’s wrath”, meaning protectors of God. And then there is the external force – the serpent. This is the force to be fought against, to be defeated. In all other ancient texts, the same analogy appears. And now, perhaps, I need to differentiate and see that when you might feel power and authority, it should not be used as temptation and abuse to engulf everyone in darkness, but as a force to fight against the darkness, the serpent, and to save people, preserving the light of the main God so that they do not fall into the serpent’s shadow and darkness.
  • Read the Wikipedia articles: “Four Sons of Horus”, “Cosmogonic Myths”, “Kali”, “Shiva”, “Maya (Philosophy)”, “Apophis”, “Set (Mythology)”, “Osiris”, “Hades”, “Ares”, “Typhon.”
Looking back, working on the novel “Alternative History”, I’ve noticed patterns over the last six months. One recurring theme in the fourth volume is the exploration of three worlds. Another consistent theme throughout the book is the blurred lines between what is considered good and what is considered evil.
