Horus Haroeris

One of the first forms of Horus was Haroeris Harwer which was a combination of the falcon-god with the indigenous deity Wer whose name means, the great one. Wer was a god of light whose eyes were the Sun and moon. Even though great emphasis was placed on the right eye which was the sun, the left eye, Haroeris Harwer was worshiped as Mekhenti-irty and was the patron of the blind. Mekhenti-irty is shown holding the two eyes of Horus in his hands. Haroeris (Horus the Elder) is the son or husband of Hathor the great sky goddess as well as the brother of Osiris and Set.
