Small Osiris Statue | |
|
Egyptian Museum,
Cairo Late Period,
700 B.C. Dynasty
XVIII, 1347-1237 B.C.
Osiris, the
Resurrection God, is
the central figure in
the afterlife myth
and in Egyptian
mythology as a whole.
His name means "The
Seat of the Eye". To
die and be properly
prepared for the
other life is to
become one with
Osiris in the
underworld over which
he rules. Osiris
received earthly rule
from his father, Geb.
His brother Seth
envied his hegemony;
he enticed Osiris
into a chest and
flung him into the
Nile. His wife sought
and found his body
and with her own
magic powers and the
help of Thoth,
Nephthys, Anubis and
Horus, restored
Osiris to life.
Osiris, however
already belonged to
the world of the
dead, and although
after his
resurrection he could
have reclaimed his
throne, he preferred
to maintain his
kingdom in the Land
of the Dead, leaving
his vindication on
earth in the hands of
his posthumous son
Horus.
