Ancient Egyptian god and patron of the 11th nome, or province, of Upper Egypt.
A trickster, he was a sky god, lord of the desert, and master of storms, disorder, and warfare. He was the brother of Osiris , whom he killed, and he was antagonistic to Horus , the child of Osiris's sister, Isis . Seth's cult largely died out in the 1st millennium BC, and he was gradually ousted from the Egyptian pantheon. He was later regarded as entirely evil and identified as a god of the Persians and other invaders of Egypt.
