ABSTRACT
That there were annual dramatic performances at Edfu, in which the victory of Horus of Bel).det over his foes, his coronation as king of Upper and Lower Egypt, and his marriage with the goddess I:Iatl).or of Denderah were enacted, is beyond dispute. 2 Having this fact in mind we have come to the conclusion, after a long and careful study of the texts to be translated and discussed, that large portions of the inscriptions forming that section of the 'Myth of Horus at Edfu' designated C 3 are derived from the text of a religious drama performed annually at Edfu in commemoration of Horus' wars with Seth, his final victory, his coronation as king of a united Egypt, the dismemberment of the body of his foe, and his 'triumph' or 'justification' before the tribunal of gods in the 'Broad Hall' .
