Harpocrates, son of Isis and Serapis, corresponds to the child Horus and is linked to the rising sun. In Egyptian art he is depicted as a naked boy with a shaved skull, a side braid and a finger to his mouth. The Greeks and Romans transformed him into an Eros-like child with wavy hair and a lotus flower on his head.
Associated with the initiatory silentium in Gnostic philosophy, Harpocrates was also likened to Dionysus and Apollo. He often wears a nebride and leans on a vine trunk, symbols of fertility and rebirth. In some representations he holds a cornucopia, a sign of abundance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Several statuettes of Harpocrates have been found in Italy but few inscriptions, indicating a secondary cult.<\/p>

His name appears next to that of Apollo and Horus, showing the union of Greek, Egyptian and Alexandrian elements.<\/p>

In the Hellenistic triad he is depicted with Isis and Serapis, sitting on his mother's knees or at her side.<\/p>
