Thoth magically restored Horus eye, at which point it was given the name Wadjet (whole or healthy). In this myth, it is specifically stated that it is Horus's left eye which has been torn out, so the myth relates to the waxing and waning of the moon during which the moon appears to have been torn out of the sky before being restored once every lunar month.
