Anonymous asked: Can you break down all of the herus? I cant seem to keep them straight/am having hard time finding info on all of them

theartofwingingit:

The short answer to that is…..well, no, not really. And not because I don’t want to, but because the Herus are a tangle of fuck.

I don’t know that anyone, Egyptologists included, can account for all of the Herus. That said, though, I will do my best to account for all the ones I know anything about!!

First of all, the two ‘biggest’/most well-known Herus would be Heru-sa-Aset and Heru-wer. Personally, I consider most of the other Herus to be facets of one of these guys, but that’s my own UPG/speculation, and I’ll leave that bit up to you.

Otherwise, this is mostly me flying by the seat of my pants–full disclosure, I don’t currently feel up to cracking open all my scholarly materials right now, so I’m trusting my memory on this one. If anything is wrong, please give me a nudge. And definitely give me a nudge if I’ve forgotten someone.

So, the Herus, an abridged list:

• Heru-sa-Aset is the one you probably read most about. He’s the son of Aset and Wesir, starred in the Contendings, and is associated with war, justice, and especially kingship. He is most closely-connected to the pharaohs of old, as symbol of divine power and authority. Also, heka.
• Heru-wer is the second son of Nut, brother to Wesir, Set, Aset, and Nebthet. Which makes him Heru-sa-Aset’s uncle. He overlaps with his more-famous nephew in many areas, being also a god of war and justice, but he lacks HSA’s strong connection to kingship. Instead, he’s more closely linked to the sky.
  
• Heru-pa-khered is Heru-sa-Aset as a child hidden and protected by his mother, representing both the rising sun and the royal heir.
• Heru-sema-tawy (Heru, Uniter of the Two Lands) represents the uniting of Upper and Lower Egypt. It’s…really that simple, as far as I can tell. Like the above, more of an aspect or a title than an actual Heru.
• Heru-Behdety (Heru of [the city of] Behdet) is symbolized in the form of the winged solar disk (this thing right here). He is, to my memory, the subject of one of the only intact narrative myths I can attribute to a Heru, besides the Contendings. Basically, when Heru-behdety faced seemingly insurmountable odds, he entreated Ra for assistance and was granted the form of the sun disk. He then flew into the sky and blinded the enemies of Ra with his light, defeating them. In this way, Heru-behdety symbolizes victory and triumph over the forces of evil/isfet.
• Heruakhety (Heru of the Two Horizons) is the Heru-god of the rising and setting of the sun. Linked, I think, to rebirth and cosmic order. Most commonly seen in his syncretic form with Ra, as Ra-horakhty.
• honorable mentions to the Khenty-khem crowd, including Khenty-irty (Foremost of Eyesight) and Khenty-n-irty (Foremost Without Sight). I know relatively little about this, although I do have a spot of private UPG on the matter, but I know Khenty-n-irty is the subject of a myth in which he (generally identified as a Heru in spite of the name, hence why he’s here) loses his sight and begins attacking everyone around him indiscriminately, unable to tell friend from foe.

I could probably pull out more if I went digging, but those are the ones who come to mind. The problem is working out how they relate to each other, and which ones are actually individuals versus just aspects or even titles. That, I think, is probably best left to your individual discretion. YMMV. Note, though, that in general the Heru gods are more alike than different.

I hope that was, uh, at all helpful.

If you want a more succinct summary, here it is:

That’s all I got, man.
