The King and the Polivalence of Death in Ancient Egypt Dios que mata, dios que muere: el rey y la polivalencia de la muerte en el Antiguo Egipto Campagno, Marcelo Cabobianco, Marcos Ancient Egypt Gods-Kings Death Polyvalence Pathosformel Antiguo Egipto Dioses-reyes Muerte Polivalencia Pathosformel The links between the Egyptian gods Osiris, Horus, and Seth are particularly significant regarding the action of killing and its relationship to the maintenance of cosmic order in Ancient Egypt. On the one hand, Horus –with whom the ruling king identifies himself– exercises his ability to kill, so that order prevails over chaos. On the other hand, chaos is never extinguished and there are times when it prevails as well: Osiris –father of Horus and god with whom every king identifies once passed away– dies violently at the hands of his brother Seth. But this crime has a paradoxical effect, since through his own death Osiris becomes a life-giving force, that is a condition of the cosmic order itself. This work aims to illustrate this versatile aspect of death in relation to the kings and gods of Ancient Egypt. Los nexos entre los dioses egipcios Osiris, Horus y Seth son particularmente significativos respecto de la acción de dar muerte y su relación con el mantenimiento del orden cósmico. Por un lado, Horus –con quien se identifica el rey gobernante– ejerce su capacidad de matar para que el orden se imponga sobre el caos. Por otro lado, el caos nunca se extingue y hay ocasiones en las que prevalece: Osiris –padre de Horus y dios con quien cada rey se identifica al morir– muere violentamente a manos de su hermano Seth. Pero el crimen de Osiris tiene un efecto paradójico, pues su muerte lo convierte en una fuerza vivificante que es condición del propio orden cósmico. En este trabajo se pretende reflexionar acerca de este aspecto polivalente de la muerte en relación con los reyes y dioses del Antiguo Egipto.
