Mythology Meme - Five OTPs: Osiris & Isis [5/5]

“ The god Osiris was married to his sister-wife Isis, who was also a goddess. Osiris became well known for teaching the people how to stustain life by farming, and his brother Seth was extremely jealous of his successes. Seth divised a plan to kill Osiris by trapping and sealing him in a coffin and sending it off into the Nile River. However, he didn’t suspect that Isis would never give up on searching for her husband’s body.”

“ The coffin had drifted to the country of Byblos and over the years the tree beside it had completely grown over the coffin. The tree was cut down and used as a pillar in the nearby palace, with the coffin still inside. When Isis discovered where the coffin was, she became a nurse for the young Prince of the palace, whom she attempted to make immortal by laying him on a bed of flames every night. Even though the process was never completed, the queen tore down the pillar and gave the coffin to Isis, who took it back to her home. When Seth realized that Isis had found the body, he cut it up into fourteen pieces and spread them throughout the Nile River. Isis never gave up though, and she found thirteen of the fourteen pieces. She brought Osiris back to life with the pieces she found and conceived their first child, Horus.”
