From Geb, the earth god, and Nut, the sky goddess came four children: Osiris, Isis, Seth and Nepthys.
Osiris was given the fruit, plants, seeds, and rich soil.
Seth was given the desert and sands, where nothing could grow. He caused the sandstorms and swirling sand in the desert.
Osiris was the oldest and so became king of Egypt, and he married his sister Isis.
Isis was the perfect traditional Egyptian wife and mother. Though her chief aspect was that of a great magician, whose power transcended that of all other deities.
Osiris was a good king and commanded the respect of all who lived on the earth and the gods who dwelled in the netherworld.
However, Seth was always jealous of Osiris, and passionately in love with Isis.
One day, Seth transformed himself into a vicious monster and attacked Osiris, killing him. Seth then cut Osiris into pieces and distributed them throughout the length and breadth of Egypt. With Osiris dead, Seth became king of Egypt.
Isis, who had great magical powers, decided to find her husband and bring him back to life long enough so that they could have a child. She roamed the country, collecting the pieces of her husband’s body and reassembling them. Once she completed this task, she breathed the breath of life into his body and resurrected him. They were together again for a while, and Isis became pregnant soon after. Osiris was able to descend into the underworld, where he became the lord of that domain, being the first to have lived after death. Isis then went back to raise her son named Horus, the hawk-god.
