Seth, also known as Set, was an Isu[1] revered as the Egyptian god of the desert, storms, disorder, and violence. Millennia later, Egyptians depicted Seth in art as an enigmatic creature referred to as the Set animal, a beast resembling no known creature, although it could be seen as a composite of an aardvark, a donkey, a jackal, or a fennec fox.[2]
Biography
In legend, Seth was the brother of Osiris and Isis.[3] He married Nephthys and fathered the mummification god of the dead, Anubis. Seth was also one of Ra's protectors who aided him in his nightly battles against the monstrous divine serpent Apep.[2] Seth later killed and dismembered Osiris, resulting in Isis[3] using the Ankh[1] to resurrected him for one night, long enough to conceive his son and heir Horus.[3] Horus would then pursue a path of vengeance, with their conflicts becoming the basis of many myths central to Egyptian society.[2]
Legacy and influence
One of the Isu messengers was called 'Seth Anath messenger'.[4]
By the 1st century BCE, a tomb was built in the Desheret Desert, named after him and Anat. The tomb itself was connected to an Isu vault, Qeneb.too Kah'Aiye.[5]
During his travels in Thebes, the Hidden One Bayek encountered the smuggler Sutekh, who had adopted Seth's classical Egyptian name. He helped Bayek lift a purported "curse" over the city[6] but later died when he fell into a nest of cobras in the Waset Desert.[7]
