The Temple of Edfu is an Ancient Egyptian temple on the west bank of the Nile in Upper Egypt. The city was known in Greco-Roman times as Apollonopolis Magna, after the chief god Horus/Apollo. It’s one of the best preserved shrines in Egypt, built between 237 and 57 BC. Wall inscriptions provide important information on language, myth, and religion during the Greco-Roman period, along with details of construction and information on the mythical interpretation of this and other temples as the “Island of Creation.” There are important scenes of the Sacred Drama, relating the age-old conflict between Horus and Seth. They’re translated by the German Edfu-Project.
