Osiris was a member of the First Civilization, revered as an Egyptian god of the afterlife, the underworld and death. He was also the partner of Isis.
Biography
In legends, Osiris and his partner Isis watched over the Egyptian pharaohs, with Isis using the Piece of Eden known as the Ankh to keep them from harm. However, Osiris died after some time, murdered by his brother Set, causing Isis to be overtaken by grief and pain.
She then attempted to revive Osiris by using the Ankh, but only managed to do so for one night. From the sexual intercourse between the two lovers that night, their son Horus was born.
By legend it is said the Osiris was dismembered into 14 parts and Isis retrieved 13 of these parts, after he was brought back for 1 day by Isis he ascended to the afterlife in 13 dismembered body parts, each part representing the 13 full moons in 1 year. He then became the king of death and Resurrection as it was believed the moon represented the infinite life and death cycle.
