Seth (Set)
Seth (Set)
Seth is a tough god. So tough, in fact, that people sometimes mistake him for an evil god. Does he care? Not really. Think what you want as long as you stay out of his way. Seth's job is to keep the universe from getting lazy, and he's good at pushing things. While some gods avoid him because he can be a real jerk, Seth's strength keeps Ra's boat moving, and Seth saves the sun from destruction by Apophis every morning—so we have to thank him at least a little.

| Quotations | "The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth." – Niels Bohr "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities." – Albert Einstein "You must do the thing you think you cannot do." – Eleanor Roosevelt "You see what power is: holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!" – Amy Tan "Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality of those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change." – Ernest Hemingway |
