Horace's name means 'he who is above', and is probably linked to his status as god of the sky and to the high soaring of the falcon. From the Late Period (c.747 B.C.) he appeared in his child form. He was usually depicted treading crocodiles underfoot and grasping snakes, scorpions and other dangerous creatures. It was believed that since as a young boy he had managed to survive certain dangers, a ritual could be performed using his image to protect children from similar threats (or to perhaps cure snake bites and scorpion stings).
