The "masters" of the temple of Edfu are "Horus of Edfu" his wife "Hathor of Dendera" as well as their son "Harsomtus". Horus is the son of "Death-god Osiris" and their sister "Isis". He is the husband of "Hathor of Dendera"  and father of "Harsomtus", whereas he sometimes appears in the figure of a flacon - also put on a level with him.
