So i hope u are somewhat acquainted with Egyptian mythology because it makes sense that way. Anyway. Its the yaoi retelling of horus vs seth mythological fight where seth kills his eldest brother osiris and usurps the throne. He tries to force himself on osiris wife isis and locks her away in a maze but his own wife nephyths helps her escape and she runs away. Centuries pass and isis returns with horus her child, who she conceived after reviving osiris. But since osiris has been killed once he's forever bound to duat (Egyptian underworld) horus is a demigod and adult now who's here to claim his rightful seat as king but obv seth doesnt wanna hand it over easily so horus challenges him to duels and seth agrees. They fight. Seth loses horus win. Horus banishes seth and reclaims his rule over egypt. S1 end.
Note : the incest here isnt literal because gods are not bound by familiar ties nor blood and a god borne out of a god is a complete being in their own right. Its more lkke the concept of abstract things given personas and relationship status by Egyptians to worship earth and abstract things. Example sun bores moisture and air who in turn beget earth and sky. Earth n sky beget fertility, magic, peace and war etc etc.
Il be back wirh s2. N s3 summary in a while but to tell u, ennead is heavily nuanced and layered and having a first hand reading experience wont compare to any assay attempts because theres a lot of things that might be missed while summarising. Regardless ill try to give u a gist of things
Can someone summarize this nicely? My 3 jobs and thesis wont allow me to read all 200 or so chapters thank you
