First, he – a child, educated by Isis and Nephthys, in a secret place, a swamp Butoh. He is "the avenger of his father," when, without warning Isis, left his refuge, and began a brutal and protracted fight with Seth, who made a helpless, having lost himself while his eyes. Defeated Seth was abandoned life and freedom; gods, being reconciled, cleansed and healed from the injury. Himself admitted G. heir of Osiris, and Seth, too, gave a part of domination. Now the idea of G. entering its third phase: it belongs to the world power, it "Gore-gods, the great mountains" (Gorur).

Here he was, among other things, the protector of Egypt, on the eastern barbarians in general, he was the national god of the patron, in contrast to Seth – the guardian of the desert and Asians. A special form of Gore – Garmahis. At the expense of the values of the myth, there are several opinions. Most scientists (Brugsch, Ed. Meyer, Maspero, Lanzone, etc.) consider G. sun god, resurrected on the day after sunset, and in the fight with Seth sees the struggle of light with darkness. Wiedemann distinguishes two of the same name of the gods: Horus, son of Osiris and Isis, and Horus, the god of the sun, mountain, cheers, which in prehistoric times was identified with the first.

After the victory occurred reconciliation; defeated entrusted with protecting the northern border, hence the submission of Sete, shall inherit the Lower Egypt. Seth was god awful force, G. – a righteous and merciful. Already in the titles of the ancient kings, both of God stand together, reconciled, and both provide assistance to the deceased kings of the underworld. G. was the third and final form manifestation of divine power, he destroyed everything in the world was ungodly and God primarily spiritual, which corresponds to the symbol of his – a soaring falcon. Tale of Woe is a cycle of ancient myths. In later times hieroglyph G. – falcon – was used as ideogram word "god .
