Set
or Seth, was known for murdering his brother to gain the throne (Isis
and Osirus). Because of this he is referred to as an evil god. He has the
head resembling a jackal. Set had great powers over storms and animals.
These characteristics are shown in (Isis and Osirus) by turning into a
hippopotamus and causing a flood. Set was not always a god of evil. In
the early years of his existence he protected Re’s sun boat from Apep,
a god who wished to kill Re. Set became corrupt when his brother was
king of Egypt and he wasn’t. Hatred for his brother grew when people
loved Osirus.
Eventually,
set was slain by Horus, his soul was throw in another battle against
Horus for people’s souls. Set wished to turn people evil. In summary
Set was the evilest god in Egyptian mythology.
