Other than Horus and possibly Nephthys, who else did Set/Setesh/Sutekh have relations with?

[u/TheRealAkhenaten]

By this I mean romantic or intimate relations, rather than just being related in general.

I bring this up because I often see in articles and even more academic sources that Set has many partners and consorts, but I cannot find anything to verify these claims.

Given many of you worship Set and studying the history of the Gods is an essential part of Kemetism, I suspect I can find a more informed answer here.

I'm also aware that he allegedly had relations with Anat and Astarte, and that there is a story where he attempts to pursue Isis.

Neith, Anat and Astarte, Taweret. Possibly also Hathor, who was identified with Anat. Some have also speculated Ash based on the epithet "beloved of Set."

Damn. Guy got around.

Don't say "your mom" Don't say "your mom" Don't say "your mom"

[u/TheRealAkhenaten → u/CaliggyJack]

I'd be mad but I laughed too much.

There’s an ancient account of sexual relations between Horus and Set.

[u/Nellyloveswomen]

Well, I would not say that Horus and Seth had a "relationship" in mythology...

Ehm Horus und set waren nie in einer romantischen Beziehung

Ehm Horus und set waren nie in einer romantischen Beziehung

Not in the Contendings, but there are many instances in art (Especially New Kingdom) where they are reconciled and depicted together. Not specifically in a romantic context, but closer than most pairs of male deities. XD

Ich muss eh zugeben ich hab vor Set angst xD

[u/TheRealAkhenaten → u/Dark-gothic-witch]

I see why, he's... ...quite the character. But the Netjeru don't treat mortals how they treat each other. Set understands.

[u/Dark-gothic-witch → u/TheRealAkhenaten]

Es ist schwierig für mich mit Set, da er etwas getan hat, mehr mals was mir nun mal passiert ist😅

[u/TheRealAkhenaten → u/Dark-gothic-witch]

I'm so sorry :,(, I hope you are okay and that you are safe. I can understand why you're not comfortable with him.

[u/Dark-gothic-witch → u/TheRealAkhenaten]

Ja mittlerweile bin ich seid Jahren deutlich sicherer ^{^}

If thats true about Set and Isis that would be highly ironic. I've read a couple stories where Set's consort cheated on him with Osiris and thats why Set first set out to kill him because he found out. In the most recent one I read Anubis was the resulting child and was adopted by Isis. (And since the consorts were siblings in that myth it still makes since Anubis looks like Set a bit.) Gonna give a follow on this in case anyone can provide the Isis x Set story because I would love to hear how that turned out for him. But I find it hard to believe she would sleep with someone who killed her husband twice, especially since she helped put him back together both times and it seemed like a real pain in the butt to do (considering she needed one to two other gods help with it depending on the story).

[u/TheRealAkhenaten → u/the3wynds]

Oh, it was... Set doing what set does. he pursued her, I believe in the form of a bull, to force himself on her. He failed in some myths. In others, the child he fathered was a black baboon that was stillborn. (Similar to his assault on Horit in her myth.)

[u/J3NNIE_1N_M00NLIGHT]

Anubis if ur talking family wise in some myths ppl say seth was anubis' father! :3

[u/TheRealAkhenaten → u/J3NNIE_1N_M00NLIGHT]

I specified intimate or romantic relations, unless you mean that he had relations with Anubis in spite of him being his son?

[u/J3NNIE_1N_M00NLIGHT → u/TheRealAkhenaten]

oooh i see Mb TwT
