The He-Man and She-Ra guide to becoming a master of the Universe (Part 3)
He-Man iconography also contains similar interweaving between ancient mythologies that hold archetypal teachings. For instance, He-Man takes inspiration from Viking lore and his twin sister, Adora, becomes She-Ra, which is like saying, Female Ra. In Egyptian mythology, the female form of Ra, the sun god, would be Isis, the goddess who wears a solar disc that is held up between two horns. Moreover, it is fitting that the writers would make the connection between the two counterparts, as the Vikings were well-known to wear horned helmets into battle.
