Horus (Destripando La Historia)

Pascu y Rodri's song 'Horus (Destripando La Historia)' is a humorous and engaging retelling of the ancient Egyptian myth of Horus, the falcon-headed god. The song is part of their 'Destripando La Historia' series, where they break down historical and mythological stories with a modern twist, often incorporating humor and contemporary references. This particular track narrates the dramatic and adventurous life of Horus, from his miraculous birth to his ultimate triumph over his uncle Seth.

The lyrics begin with the miraculous birth of Horus, whose father, Osiris, was killed by his brother Seth. Despite Osiris being dead, his wife Isis manages to conceive Horus, setting the stage for a tale of revenge and divine power. The song humorously describes Seth's relentless attempts to kill Horus, including an encounter with a crocodile and a bizarre dinner invitation where Seth tries to trick Horus with expired sauce. These elements highlight the cunning and resilience of Horus as he navigates through various challenges.

The climax of the song focuses on the final showdown between Horus and Seth. They engage in a series of contests, including a breath-holding competition in the form of hippos and a race with boats made of stone. Horus's cleverness and determination ultimately lead to his victory, allowing him to claim his rightful place as the ruler of Egypt. The song's repetitive chorus, 'Es Horus, Ye-ye-ye-ye-yeah,' emphasizes the celebratory and triumphant nature of Horus's journey.

Pascu y Rodri's playful and modern retelling of Horus's story not only entertains but also educates listeners about ancient Egyptian mythology. The use of humor and contemporary language makes the myth accessible and enjoyable for a wide audience, bridging the gap between ancient history and modern pop culture.
