Osiris, also called the Lord of the Duat,[1] was an Isu, revered as an Egyptian god of the afterlife, the underworld and death. He was also the consort-brother of Isis.
Biography
In legends, Osiris and his wife Isis watched over the Egyptian pharaohs, with Isis using a Piece of Eden to keep them from harm. However, Osiris died after some time, murdered by his brother Seth, causing Isis to be overtaken by grief and despair.[2]
She then attempted to revive Osiris by using the Ankh, but it would last for only one night. The sexual intercourse between the two that night resulted in the conception of their son Horus.[2]
Legacy
During the 1st century BCE, whenever the Medjay and later Hidden One Bayek of Siwa slew a member of the Order of the Ancients, he told them that Osiris awaited them to judge them for their crimes against humanity.[1]
