 The Sun as a Snake by Jason Gildow - GODMAGAZINE.ORG
Apep was the Epyptian god of evil, an immense snake who nightly attempts to devour the sun, only to be defeated at dawn eternally, until the last dawn.
The symbol of the composite god that is both Apep and Horus and is beyond the dualistic conflicts of good and evil is a representation of the sun as a snake, an image of the brightness of the sun casting at tracer tail of its path through the sky like a slinking cosmic snake.
The name Apep translates as "destroyer," and the original Sun-Snake god must have been envisioned as a destroyer of his enemies, the precise phrase that is used in Plate Ten of the Papyri, but the meaning of his name was convoluted over time to indicate that he was a destroyer of goodness.
