Toss Another One on the Pile

Well, shit.

While Agamemnon is away, Aegisthus usurps the throne of Mycenae. When Agamemnon returns, Aegisthus invites him to a feast, whereupon he murders Agamemnon. Years later, Agamemnon's son Orestes returns and kills Aegisthus and Clytemnestra, but the Furies prevent him from taking the throne. Athena holds a trial in which the role of each parent in procreation is central and rules in favor of Orestes, who becomes king of Mycenae.

Compare to:

While Osiris is away, Set makes plans to usurp the throne of Egypt. When Osiris returns, Set invites him to a feast, whereupon he murders Osiris and usurps the throne. Years later, Osiris's son Horus defeats Set and kills Isis, but Set prevents him from taking the throne. The gods hold a trial in which the role of each parent in procreation is central and, on the advice of Thoth, rule in favor of Horus, who becomes king of Egypt.

Thank you for all this. Your idea seems quite plausible and I shall keep it in mind as I continue my studies.

Yes, it would be nice to know what was sealed below the Sphinx!
