HORUS
The famous falcon-headed Egyptian Sky God
That's more like it. His eyes are the sun and the moon, so he must be a bit starry-eyed. You've heard of the Eye of HORUS, haven't you?
Son of ISIS and OSIRIS, he fought SET tooth and nail to avenge his father's murder, and was eventually declared the winner on points in round 80. (See MIN's entry if you want to read some of the nastier details.)During the battle his moon eye was poked out, but he got it back afterwards and generously donated it to his shadowy undead father. We reckon this could be why the moon is always a little unreal and spooky.
HORUS appears to have started out as HAROERIS. He also had four dead helpful sons called (imaginatively) the SONS-OF-HORUS.
