Horus (fl. 4th century) was a Cynic philosopher and Olympic boxer, who was victorious at the Olympic games in Antioch in 364 AD.
He was born in Egypt, son of one Valens; Horus was originally a student of rhetoric and an athlete and was a victor at the Ancient Olympic Games in Antioch in 364, [1] probably as a boxer. [2] Horus was also commended in that year, alongside his brother Phanes, to Maximus praefectus Aegypti, and Eutocius. [3] He later turned to Cynic philosophy.
Horus appears as an interlocutor in Macrobius's Saturnalia, [4] (dramatic date 384) and as a friend of Symmachus, who commended him to Nicomachus Flavianus. [5]
