A trickster, he was a sky god, lord of the desert, and master of storms, disorder, and warfare.

Seth's cult largely died out in the 1st millennium BC, and he was gradually ousted from the Egyptian pantheon. He was later regarded as entirely evil and identified as a god of the Persians and other invaders of Egypt. Reduced Instruction Set Computing age set set theory
