According to the Heliopolitan cosmology, Shu and [[Tefnut]], the first pair of cosmic elements, created the [[sky goddess]], [[Nut (goddess)|Nut]], and the [[earth god]], [[Geb]]. Shu separated Nut from Geb as they were in the act of love, creating duality in the manifest world: above and below, light and dark, [[good and evil]]. Prior to their separation, however, Nut had given birth to the gods [[Isis]], [[Osiris]], [[Nephthys]] (Horus) and [[Set (Egyptian religion)|Set]]. The Egyptians believed that if Shu did not hold [[Nut (goddess)|Nut]] (sky) and [[Geb]] (earth) apart there would be no way for physically-manifest life to exist.

ギリシャでは、シューは天球を支える原初のティターンであるアトラースと結びつけられ、両者は天を支える姿で描かれている<ref name="A-Z">Remler Pat, ''Egyptian Mythology, A to Z'', Infobase Publishing, https://books.google.com/books?id=wLUjtPDyu-IC, page24, 2010, 6 October 2014, isbn:9781438131801</ref>。
ヘリオポリスの宇宙論によれば、シューと[[テフヌト]]は最初の宇宙元素のペアであり、空の女神ヌトと地の神ゲブを創造した。シューは、子供達が愛の行為に及んだので、ヌトをゲブから切り離し、顕在世界に上と下、光と闇、善と悪といった二重性を生み出した。しかし、その前にヌトはイシス、オシリス、ネフティス（ホルス）、セトという神々を産んだ<ref name="Egyptian Symbols" />。。エジプト人は、シューがヌト（天）とゲブ（地）を引き離さなければ、物理的に生命が存在することはないと考えていた。
Shu is mostly represented as a [[man]]. Only in his function as a fighter and defender as the [[sun god]] and he sometimes receive a [[Lion|lion's]] head. He carries an [[ankh]], the [[symbol]] of [[life]].
