Hordus was an Halachic Jew. The Hasmonian king, Alexander Yanai conquered Idumia (Edom) and converted the population. Horus was of the third generation after the conversion and, therefore was kosher l’kahal. P.S. Just because he was an halachic Jew doesn’t mean he was a good guy, On the other hand, he did build the Beis HaMiqdash. The Beis HaMiqdash that’s shown in every book and the models in every museum depict his binyan.
