		"Eye 
      of Horus," by Byzant.com 
      The ancient Egyptian Eye of Horus or wedjat ('Whole One') is a powerful 
      symbol of protection, and is also considered to confer wisdom, health and 
      prosperity. Horus was one of the most important Egyptian gods, a sun-god 
      represented as a falcon or with the head of a hawk, whose right eye was 
      the sun and whose left eye was the moon. He was the son of Osiris (god of 
      the underworld) and Isis (mother goddess). Osiris was slain by his own 
      brother, the evil Set (jackal-headed god of night), and Horus fought Set 
      to avenge his father's death, winning the battle but losing an eye in the 
      process. The eye was restored by the magic of the god of wisdom and the 
      moon, Thoth, and this allowed Horus to grant Osiris rebirth in the 
      underworld. The Eye of Horus symbol was used in funerary rites and 
      decoration, as instructed in the Egyptian Book of the Dead. After 1200 BC, 
      it was also used by the Egyptians to represent fractions, based on 
      repeated division by two. Both the right and the left eyes of Horus were 
      depicted by the ancient Egyptians. The wounding of the left eye served as 
      a mythical explanation of the phases of the moon, and its magical 
      restoration meant that the left was usually the one used as an amulet and 
      considered to be the 'Eye of Horus'. The right eye is sometimes referred 
      to as the 'Eye of Ra', the sun god, though often little distinction is 
      made between the two eyes.

      "This is the well-known scene from the Osiris mysteries, with Anubis, the 
      jackal-headed god, on the left ministering to the dead Osiris on the bier. 
      The pencilled (?) restoration is incorrect. Anubis should be 
      jackal-headed. The left arm of Osiris is in reality lying at his side 
      under him. The apparent upper hand is part of the wing of a second bird 
      which is hovering over the erect phallus of Osiris (now broken away).
      The 
      second bird is Isis and she is magically impregnated by the dead Osiris 
      and then later gives birth to Horus ..." (Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon 
      Thought, Summer 1968, page 86)

      Exploring East Asia through Storytelling:  
      This series, sponsored by IU's East Asian Studies Center, feature popular 
      folktales from China, Japan, or Korea told by a professional storyteller. 
      The presentations also involved an IU student from the relevant country, 
      who discussed modern-day issues addressed by the folktale.  
      This spring, three interactive presentations focused on the much-loved 
      Japanese folktale, "The Crane Wife". Professional storyteller Mary 
      Fraser performed the story of the marriage of a simple farmer and his 
      crane-wife who could weave enchanted cloth. Following the story, Mary 
      fielded student questions about the characters and meaning of the tale. 
      The second part of the program, was presented by IU student Yasuko Murphy 
      of Japan. She introduced the students to Japanese 'dancing' red-crowned, 
      the importance of the crane in Japanese culture and art, and recent 
      efforts to protect this now-endangered species.  
      The program was presented to Lebanon Middle School's 7th grade East Asian 
      study group, and to two 3rd grade classes - the students of Longfellow 
      Elementary School teacher JoAnn Beleslin and on the students of Grissom 
      Elementary School teacher Lois Johnson. Both of the elementary schools are 
      located in Gary, Indiana, and IU's ability to reach these two faraway 
      sites via the Vision Athena network once again demonstrated the 
      values of this distance learning technology as an outreach tool. In all 
      presentations, the 3rd and 7th graders asked many questions and seemed 
      quite at ease interacting with guest speakers who were, in fact, quite far 
      away.  |
