Myth of Isis and Osiris

The legend of Isis and Osiris tells the story of the good and benevolent King Osiris who was murdered by his wicked brother Seth due to jealousy and hatred.

The corpse of Osiris was thrown into the Nile and his faithful wife Isis searched until she found him and hid him in the marshes of the Delta. Through magic, which she practiced and mastered, Isis became pregnant.

Isis gave birth to their child Horus, who became the heir to his father's throne and avenged his father Osiris. Osiris became the king of the gods of the underworld .
