“Despite Seth’s widely known negative character traits, his worship continued until the Roman Period, and he maintained an important position in both personal religious piety and state ideology. It is likely that the Egyptians wanted to see in their king a combination of the attributes of both Horus and Seth. Thus Hatshepsut recorded upon her obelisk at Karnak Temple: ‘as I wear the White Crown, as I appear in the Red Crown, as Horus and Seth have united for me their two halves, as I ruled this land like the son of Isis [i.e. Horus], as I have become strong like the son of Nut [i.e. Seth]’. Strong and cunning go together.”
