What does the Eye of Horus symbolize?

Eye of Horus symbol depicted in ancient Egyptian art

In the vast tapestry of ancient Egyptian mythology, the Eye of Horus stands out as a symbol of protection, health, and restoration. This emblem, resembling a stylized human eye, is deeply rooted in the legend of Horus, the falcon-headed god of the sky. According to myth, Horus lost his left eye in a fierce battle with Set, the god of chaos. The eye was magically restored by Hathor, symbolizing the process of making whole and healing. This restoration came to represent the triumph of good over evil and the maintenance of cosmic order.

Beyond its mythological origins, the Eye of Horus was widely used in ancient Egypt as an amulet for protection and healing. Sailors painted it on their ships to ensure safe voyages, and it was commonly placed in tombs to safeguard the deceased in the afterlife. The symbol's association with the moon, due to Horus's left eye representing the lunar cycle, further emphasizes its connection to renewal and rebirth.
