Horus the Younger (Heru-sa-Aset, Heru-pa-Khered) is an Egyptian god associated with sovereignty, justice, and victory. In myth he is the son of Isis and Osiris and is thus the nephew of Horus the Elder.

Horus is a particularly complex deity; he appears under a number of names and in a number of guises, most notably Horus the Elder (Heru-wer) and Horus the Younger (Heru-sa-Aset) but he has other significant aspects as well.

He had a particular center of worship in the city of Hierakonopolis (Nekhen).

He is depicted here as a man with the head of a hawk, wearing the double crown (pschent) of Upper and Lower Egypt. He carries the was staff, a symbol of power, in one hand and the ankh, a symbol of life, in the other.

Horus the Younger may also be depicted as a child, wearing the side-lock of youth, sometimes seated in the lap of his mother Isis.

Heru-sa-Aset, master of magics, just one,
savior of your father, I praise and honor you.
