Prime Video Original Series
The story of Horus — Osiris and Isis's son, raised in hiding in the papyrus marshes of the Nile Delta, emerging to contest Egypt's throne against his uncle Set. The Contendings of Horus and Set is one of Egyptian mythology's most extensive and formally complex texts — a legal and divine contest that lasts eighty years according to some sources, involving Ra, Thoth, the divine tribunal, multiple trials and battles, and the eventual recognition of Horus as Egypt's rightful king. The series treats the Contendings with full fidelity to the ancient texts while giving each divine being the psychological depth the story deserves. Set's perspective is not ignored — his argument that a warrior-king is better than a child with an inherited claim is not without logic, which the series takes seriously. But the Egyptian sources are clear: Horus prevails because his claim is just, and justice is the fundamental principle of the Egyptian cosmos.
