description: In the religious literature of ancient Egypt the conflict of Horus and Seth constitutes a central theme. Although it is closely linked even in its earliest form with the myth pf Osiris and is associated with that myth in most of the Egyptian and Classical sources yet it can be shown to have had an entirely independent origin.This is the first full-lenght study of all the relevant material which ranges from the Pyramid Texts to the works of the Christian Fathers. The detailed discussions at first-hand of Egyptian Greek and Latin religious texts will be of immediate interest to scholars in these snd related fields.
