Edfu is traditionally the ancient site of the battle between Horus and Seth.
Horus
In the Osiris legends, Horus was the child of Isis and Osirus. Horus was killed by his uncle Seth, as was his father, Osirus. In the picture above, the three gods are show with the Pharaoh. In earlier documents Horus is sometimes called the brother or Seth.
However, in legend, Horus joined his father in the underworld and and with the help of Isis returned to fight and defeat Set at Edfu. He fought in his corporal form that was resurected from the Duat and in the form of a winged sun disc.
At the Temple of Horus at Edfu the cult statues show the discoloration of the many hands that have touched them.
In historical Egypt, as the King was always identified with Osirus, the Prince who was to suceed him was called "Horus in the Nest".
