Osiris

Osiris is a major deity in Egyptian mythology, associated with resurrection and regeneration. He is the god of the dead and the underworld, as well as the one who ensures fertility and cosmic order.

Osiris is one of the oldest and most revered gods in Egyptian mythology. He is often depicted as a mummified pharaoh wearing the white crown of Upper Egypt. According to the legend, Osiris was a benevolent king who taught humanity agriculture and laws. However, he was betrayed and killed by his brother Seth, who scattered his body parts across Egypt. His wife, Isis, managed to reassemble his body and, with the help of Anubis, brought him back to life, making Osiris the first being to resurrect. After his resurrection, Osiris became the god of the dead, overseeing the judgment of souls in the afterlife. Osiris is also associated with fertility, as his death and resurrection symbolize the cycles of the seasons and vegetation. He is the son of Geb (god of the earth) and Nut (goddess of the sky), and is married to Isis. Together, they had a son, Horus, who avenged his father by defeating Seth and restoring order.
