Some gods have many different versions of their parentage- especially Hrw/Horus, since the king was his representative on Earth and the king's relationships to various deities were all very important. However, some became more important than others at certain times, and so both Hrw and the king through him were said to be the son of one deity or another as the situation demanded. Remember, the Egyptians held to a mode of thinking which is known as "polyvalent logic"- common in indigenous cultures but not so much in modern ones. Polyvalent logic holds that two or more, seemingly contradictory, things can be true at the same time- just as the same landscape when looked at in different times of the day or year, or from different angles or approaches, may look different and yet still be the same terrain.
So I have heard of Hrw as the son of Wsyr/Osiris, Ast/Isis, Bast, Skhmt/Sekhmet, or Hwt-Hrw/Hathor, and depending on which Hrw in particular we're talking about there is also the one born of Gb/Geb and Nwt/Nut. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Ra added to the list. 3nodding
(Which is not to defend the scholarship of the show... just an interesting point I wanted to make wink )
