Seth: A Mythical Figure Shrouded in History and Legend From ancient Egyptian mythology to historical events, the name Seth has left its mark on various aspects of human civilization. In the mythological realm, often associated with Horus-Seth, a complex deity embodying both chaos and protection. This divine duality can be seen in depictions such as the Heruben papyrus, where Seth is depicted riding a solar boat. Moving forward in time, we encounter Edward VII during the early 1900s. Although seemingly unrelated to ancient Egypt at first glance, it is interesting to note that this era coincided with discoveries of artifacts like the bronze and silver statue of Set from Carlsberg G. These findings shed light on how ancient civilizations revered this god. Digging deeper into history reveals intriguing connections between Seth and biblical narratives. The Death of Adam fresco completed in 1464 depicts scenes from the Legend of the True Cross cycle, wherein Seth plays a significant role within Adam's family tree engraving from 1556. Shifting our focus to geographical contexts brings us to Ohio's northeastern region known as Western Reserve. Surveyed by none other than Seth Pease himself in 1798, this land would later become an essential part of American history. Beyond mythology and geography lies social unrest captured by phrases like "coal miners strike. " Such events remind us that even mythical figures can resonate with real-world struggles faced by communities throughout history. Artistic representations further emphasize Seth's significance across cultures. For instance, Johann Sadeler I's work titled "The Animals Going into the Ark" showcases scenes from The Story of the Family dating back to 1586—a testament to how deeply ingrained these legends were within society. Lastly, an amulet originating from Egypt's Third Intermediate Period serves as a tangible artifact symbolizing people's belief in Set's protective powers during those times.
