First synthesis dedicated to the Children of Horus, essential gods in the funerary iconographic landscape from the beginning of the New Kingdom. Protectors of the viscera of Osiris , they are also entrusted with those of the deceased who aspires to associate his future with that of the god. The Children of Horus therefore occupy a privileged place alongside the deceased who wishes to live eternally in the afterlife.
The objective of this work is to present, firstly, each Child of Horus individually through his name, his representation, his costume, as well as his function, and the formulas associated with him.
In a second step, attention will be paid to the coherent group that they form and which takes place earlier on a lotus flower , sometimes around the deceased , both on funeral furniture and in tombs and temples.
This study is based on a catalogue of attestations from temples, tombs and royal funerary furniture, numerous funerary papyri as well as private tombs, several of which are unpublished . An entire chapter is devoted to the translation of legends who accompany the Children of Horus.
