Harpocrates

In Ancient Greek mythology, Harpocrates was the god of silence. It was the Greeks’ interpretation of the Egyptian Horus the Child. In Egyptian statues, he was often depicted with a finger held to his lips, which represented the hieroglyph for ‘child’, but the Greek misunderstood it for the gesture for silence, and made him the god of silence and secrecy.
