Question
While in the form of a hippopotamus, this deity’s mother accidentally struck him with a harpoon, prompting this deity to decapitate her. Organs removed during mummification were kept in four jars representing the sons of this deity. A debate over the rule of a kingdom was settled after this god gave his rival some lettuce with his semen on it to assert his dominance. After Thoth healed them, this god’s eyes represented the sun and moon. A protection symbol called the wedjat is named for this deity. As a child, this god was brought to a swamp along the Nile to hide him from Set, who murdered his father Osiris. For 10 points, name this Egyptian sky god with a falcon’s head. ■END■
ANSWER: Horus [or Heru or Hor] (The wedjat is alternatively called the Eye of Horus.)
