Set (deity)
Set or Seth (; also spelled Setesh, Sutekh,〔Probably this is the lection of a god adored by the Hittites, the "Kheta", afterwards assimilated to the local Afro-Asiatic Seth. Sutekh appears, in fact, as a god of Hittites in the treaty declarations between the Hittite kings and Ramses II after the battle of Qadesh (see Archibald H. Sayce, "The Hittites: The Story of a Forgotten Empire"; also E. A. Wallis Budge, "A History of Egypt from the End of the Neolithic Period to the Death of Cleopatra VII B.C. 30".)〕 Setekh, or Suty) is a god of the desert, storms, disorder, violence and foreigners in ancient Egyptian religion.〔Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, vol. 3, p. 269〕 In Ancient Greek, the god's name is given as ''Sēth'' (Σήθ). Set is not, however, a god to be ignored or avoided; he has a positive role where he is employed by Ra on his solar boat to repel the serpent of Chaos Apep.〔 Set had a vital role as a reconciled combatant.〔 He was lord of the red (desert) land where he was the balance to Horus' role as lord of the black (soil) land.〔
In Egyptian mythology, Set is portrayed as the usurper who killed and mutilated his own brother Osiris. Osiris' wife Isis reassembled Osiris' corpse and resurrected him long enough to conceive his son and heir Horus. Horus sought revenge upon Set, and the myths describe their conflicts. This Osiris myth is a prominent theme in Egyptian mythology.

Set's siblings are Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys. He married Nephthys and fathered Anubis; and in some accounts he had relationships with other goddesses: Hathor, Neith and the foreign goddesses Anat, and Astarte.〔Oxford Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, vol. 3, p. 270〕
