Mythology.

His best-known aspect is that of Horus on crocodiles, a late form representing the boy Horus standing on two crocodiles while his mother searches for missing Osiris. Also, like a naked child with the finger of his right hand in his mouth, wearing a royal crown and aureus, and a ponytail next to his head, characteristic of the Egyptian princes. As a symbol of the rising sun, it is represented as a child emerging from a lotus, in Greco-Roman times.

The boy Horus appears in the Pyramid Texts, in the Osirian myth, in which he waits for his mother while she leaves in search of Osiris, who has been killed by Seth and thrown into the river. Harpocrates permanents à Buto, near one of the mouths of the Nile, under the care of a local deity.

It is the weak sun of dawn, or the winter sun, naked and unprotected. But like this Sun, I transformed into a powerful Sun, and from a weak child, I transformed into a powerful Horus and avenger of the death of his father Osiris, the warrior Horus, Hartomes, who was from Seth.

It was a fait partie de l'Eneada Heliopolitana.

According to Plutarch, Harpocrates was blessed by Isis and Osiris, in posthumous relationships, being born prematurely as a weak-legged child.
