Egyptian Mythology |
Osiris is said to represent his death, in the drought every year, and his rebirth in the flooding of the Nile that helps grain grow. The oldest writings of Osiris show him of the god of death, but more recent ones show him as the Lord of the Afterlife.
Osiris is the oldest of Nut and Geb, he is the brother of Isis, Seth, and Nepthys. He married his sister Isis, and had his daughter, Horus. But, his other sister Nepthys seduced him and he gained a son, Anubis.
He is depicted as a mummified, bearded man with green skin. His symbols include crook and flail, White and Aftef crowns, bull, and mummified forms.
