Short Description
"Harpocrates (Ancient Greek: Ἁρποκράτης) was the god of silence, secrets and confidentiality in the Hellenistic religion developed in Ptolemaic Alexandria (and also an embodiment of hope, according to Plutarch). Harpocrates was adapted by the Greeks from the Egyptian child god Horus, who represented the newborn sun, rising each day at dawn. Harpocrates´s name was a Hellenization of the Egyptian Har-pa-khered or Heru-pa-khered, meaning "Horus the Child"." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.01.2020)
