Histories

Thus they showed that all those whose statues stood there had been good men, but quite unlike gods.

Before these men, they said, the rulers of Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt were gods, but none had been contemporary with the human priests. Of these gods one or another had in succession been supreme; the last of them to rule the country was Osiris' son Horus, whom the Greeks call Apollo; he deposed Typhon,[*](Typhon is the Egyptian Set, the god of destruction.) and was the last divine king of Egypt [30,27] (nation), Africa Egypt. Osiris is, in the Greek language, Dionysus.
