Editing Typhon (section)

====Set====
From apparently as early as [[Hecataeus of Miletus]] ({{circa|550 BC|476 BC}}), Typhon was identified with [[Set (deity)|Set]], the Egyptian god of chaos and storms.<ref>Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA28 p. 28]; Ogden 2013a, [https://books.google.com/books?id=FQ2pAK9luwkC&pg=PA78 p. 78]; West 1997, p. 304; West 1966, p. 380; Fontenrose, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA177 p. 177 ff.]; Hecataeus ''FGrH'' 1 F300 (apud [[Herodotus]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hdt.+2.144.2 2.144.2]).</ref> This syncretization with [[Egyptian mythology]] can also be seen in the story, apparently known as early as Pindar, of Typhon chasing the gods to Egypt, and the gods transforming themselves into animals.<ref>Griffiths, pp. 374–375; [[Pindar]], fr. 91 SM ''apud'' [[Porphyry (philosopher)|Porphyry]], ''On Abstinence From Animal Food'' 3.16 (Taylor, [https://archive.org/stream/selectworksporp00taylgoog#page/n132/mode/2up p. 111]); Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA29 p. 29]; Ogden 2013a, [https://books.google.com/books?id=FQ2pAK9luwkC&pg=PA217 p. 217]; Gantz, p. 49; West 1966, p. 380; Fontenrose, [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA75 p. 75]. For the gods' transformation and flight to Egypt see also [[Nicander]], ''apud'' [[Antoninus Liberalis]] [https://books.google.com/books?id=9_Eolzuv0eQC&pg=PA87 28], [[Gaius Julius Hyginus|Hyginus]], ''[[De astronomica|Astronomica]]'' 2.28, 2.30; [[Ovid]], ''[[Metamorphoses]]'' [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0028%3Abook%3D5%3Acard%3D250 5.321–331]; [[Bibliotheca (Pseudo-Apollodorus)|Apollodorus]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Apollod.+1.6.3 1.6.3].</ref> Such a story arose perhaps as a way for the Greeks to explain Egypt's animal-shaped gods.<ref>Ogden 2013b, [https://books.google.com/books?id=Ir5FhAQbcfAC&pg=PA23 p. 23]; Griffiths, pp. 374–375; Fontenrose, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA75 75], [https://books.google.com/books?id=wqeVv09Y6hIC&pg=PA177 177].</ref> Herodotus also identified Typhon with Set, making him the second to last divine king of Egypt. Herodotus says that Typhon was deposed by [[Osiris]]' son [[Horus]], whom Herodutus equates with [[Apollo]] (with Osiris being equated with [[Dionysus]]),<ref>Fowler 2013, [https://books.google.com/books?id=scd8AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA28 p. 28]; [[Herodotus]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hdt.+2.144.2 2.144.2]; cf. [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hdt.+2.156.4 2.156.4].</ref> and after his defeat  by Horus, Typhon was "supposed to have been hidden" in the "[[Serbonian Bog|Serbonian marsh]]" (identified with modern [[Lake Bardawil]]) in Egypt.<ref>[[Herodotus]], [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Hdt.+3.5 3.5].</ref>
