Since he pronounces his name Horus, and we've already had Egyptian
references on the show, let's get into a little mythology that might
be of interest to the Box Man John Locke, who, according to his
mother, was "immaculately conceived."
"In another myth, Set had a banquet for Osiris in which he brought in
a beautiful box and said that whoever could fit in the box perfectly
would get to keep it. Set had measured Osiris in his sleep so that he
was the only person that could fit in the box. Once it was Osiris's
turn to see if he could fit in the box, Set closed the lid on him so
that the box was now a coffin for Osiris. Set flung the box in the
Nile so that it would float far away; Isis went looking for the box so
that Osiris could have a proper burial. She found the box in a tree in
Byblos, and brought it back to Egypt, hiding it in a swamp. Set went
hunting that night and found the box. To make it so Isis could never
find Osiris again, Set chopped Osiris's body into fourteen pieces and
scattered them all over Egypt. Isis and her sister Nephthys went
looking for his pieces, but could only find thirteen of the fourteen.
Fish had swallowed the last piece, his *****, so Isis fa****oned one
out of gold. Isis used her magic to put Osiris's body back together
and managed to bring him back to life, in which they conceived Horus"

In ancient Egypt, Orion was called the Soul of Osiris. I've theorized
that Locke is an Orion figure.
The pilot of 815 was Seth Norris, which I think is a play on "Seth &
Horus." (Set was also called Seth.) A long time ago, I noted that the
pilot's injured eye reminded me of the Eye of Horus.
It's all very weird.
