HOROS (Ὡρος). Greek
name of a Gnostic god, meaning "the Limiter," from horos
(boundary). He has also been called "the distant
one." It is a form of Egyptian Horus
(the sun).
... A figure entirely peculiar
to Valentinian Gnosticism is that of Horos (the Limiter). The name
is perhaps an echo of the Egyptian Horus. The peculiar task of
Horos is to separate the fallen aeons from the upper world of aeons.
At the same time he becomes (first, perhaps, in the later Valentinian
systems) a kind of world-creative power, who in this capacity helps to
construct an ordered world out of Sophia and her passions. He is
also called, curiously enough, Stauros (cross)... (The Enclyclopaedia
Britannica, Chisholm, v.27, 1911)
