| | Egypt: Set (Seth), God of Storms, Slayer of Apep, Equal to and Rival of Horus |
 | | Set (Seth, Setekh, Sut, Sutekh, Suty) was one of ancient Egypt's earliest gods, a god of chaos, confusion, storms, wind, the desert and foreign lands. |
 | | As Set was a god of the desert and probably symbolized the destructive heat of the afternoon sun, and thus was thought to be infertile. |
 | | The two gods, Horus the Elder and Horus the son of Osiris and Isis were confused, so Set changed from being an equal to his brother, Horus the Elder, to the enemy of Isis's son. |
