Journaled Words {10.4.20}: According to Peterson in Maps of Meaning, “Horus unites himself with his father and becomes the ideal ruler—the consciousness of present youthful life, conjoined with the wisdom of tradition.” This archetypal story reminds me of Hamlet. I imagine that Shakespeare had something like it in mind. Hamlet was supposed to be Horus, but he failed. He would not “bring his father back from the underworld.” He was terrified of his father’s ghost and what it asked of him: he wouldn’t kill his uncle he should have. Hamlet brought no order from chaos; he just magnified (added to?) the chaos.”
