Comment
Osiris was the Ancient Egyptian god of the dead, and the god of the resurrection into eternal life; ruler, protector, and judge of the deceased.
Osiris ruled the world of men after Ra left the world to rule the heavens. He was murdered by his brother Set, who later dismembered his body and scattered the remains. The grieving Isis reassembled the parts and magically brought him back to life. Since he was the first living thing to die, he subsequently became the lord of the dead.
The cult of Osiris persisted throughout Egyptian history. Funeral texts address numerous prayers and spells in hopes of securing his blessing upon entering the afterlife.
