Horus was one of the most important gods in ancient Egypt, and like all gods, the Greeks sought to determine which of their gods he was.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The Greek equivalent of Horus the Egyptian god is Apollo, the god of sun, music, and plagues. The connection between the two deities was recognized by the Greeks when the two cultures came into contact during the time of Alexander the Great. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The Greeks preserved the knowledge of the ancient world in the library of Alexandria, which they built in Egypt. They believed that the gods of all the various cultures they came in contact with were their own gods, but known by different names. Their system of matching the gods of other cultures with their own was called Interpretatio graeca.<\/em><\/p>\n
