The Horus myth is definitely the origin of the Phoenix bird story. I
don't think anyone can say that the Phoenix is not a key element of
this series. [snip again]<<
Now Mindy:
You know, Randy, I would love to talk to you about this off list.
Heaven knows, I am willing to babble about Egyptian myth until the cows
come home. What I meant to say in my previous post, and stupidly
forgot, is that I am not quite sure which versions of the myths you are
referring to. The dismemberment of Osiris is one of the most popular,
but I can't make that work with anything in HP. The fight between
Horus and Set is a more likely candidate. However, clearly the version
of the tale I favor is not the one you are working with.
So, would you be willing to email me your theory as well as which
version of the myth you are working with?
Mindy
