Topic: Sopdu


  
  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Sopdu
Sopdu's name, meaning with Sopd, derives from this heat arriving shortly after the star Sirius has its heliacal rising, and thus being seen as coming with Sopdet, Sopdet being the deification of Sirius (Sopd is the masculine form of Sopdet).
Consequently, Sopdu started being depicted as wearing the two falcon feathers as a headdress, that represented Horus, who was seen as a falcon.
Sopdu (Soped, Sopedu) was a god of war associated with the eastern borders and the eastern Desert, known as the "lord of the east".

 Sopdu
He was sometimes associated with the planet Venus, but was generally a solar god, closely associated with the sun, which rises in the east, and represented the scorching heat of the sun.
As a war god he was closely associated with the Pharaoh (and Horus, the Patron god of the kings) during the Middle Kingdom.
His association with Horus also related to the fact that both were hawk gods, and Sopdu was given the epithet "sharp of teeth" with reference to the bird of prey and to the hieroglyph used in his name.

Perhaps the Asiatic miners honoring of Egyptian gods, Sopdu and Hathor, became transformed into Israel honoring the Golden Calf ?  The temple began as two caves (to the viewer's left) dedicated to Hathor and Sopdu.
She is frequently portrayed with her head or body emerging from the cave in the western mountain, receving the deadinto the underworld.
Sopdu was a warrior-god associated with Per-Sopdu, modern Saft el Henneh in the eastern delta at the west end of Wadi Tumilat.

 Flinders Petrie's Researches in Sinai, Chapter XIII, The Worship at Serabit El Khadem
After two or three thousand years of worship at the primitive shrine, the Egyptians introduced side by side with it the worship of the god of the East, Sopdu.
He was closely associated with Hat-hor, or rather, probably his symbol, the zodiacal light, was identified with the goddess, as she is called Sopdu at Elephantine and Abydos (LANZONE, Diz.
A smaller shrine and cave for him was carved at the side of the older shrine; and on the later steles he appears worshipped as well as Hat.hor.

 The Sah/Sopdet/Sopdu relationship
In considering the positions and attributions of Sopdet and Sopdu, relative to Sah, then it can be considered that Sopdet caused the spirit of the deceased to fly upward along the path of Dawn, the ecliptic pathway of the Sun, and Regulus, in the vicinity of which Spica of the Constellation Virgo is also located.
Sopdu's name, meaning with Sopd, derives from this heat it was said that Sopdet gave birth to this heat, and so Sopdu was seen as her child.
Thus it is apparant that there was a very close association between the masculine Sopdu and the feminine Isis-Sopdet, Har-Sopd was literally given as being seen as within Sopdet, in the sense of son and mother, or brother and sister as the case may be.

 Egypt: Kahun, Middle Kingdom Workers' Village
Many references in the papyri indicate that the town did possess its own temple, to the falcon star-god Sopdu, Lord of the East, and possessed its own priesthood.

Uah in turn left a will, mentioned above, which transfers this property to his wife, giving her the freedom to pass it on to any of their children.
