ISIS AND OSIRIS 2
Isis And Osiris
Introduction
Isis and Osiris were regarded as some of the good gods of Egypt together with their
sister Nebthet, a famed goddess. On the other hand, their brother Seth was elementally evil, a
typical devil, with the thirst for harming others. According to belief, Isis and Osiris
descended to earth to civilize Egypt. Osiris began by civilizing the people of the Nile Valley
before teaching his ways to the rest of the globe. Thus, the entire world was transformed
through the diffusion of civilization from ancient Egypt. This paper analyzes the myth of Isis
and Osiris and their impact on the belief of life and death in Egypt. It also encapsulates the
distinct components of the story and their significance in Egyptian culture, rituals, and
traditions.
Analysis
Osiris left Egypt to share civilization with the rest of the world and left their home
under the wrath of the evil Seth. However, Isis is relatively powerful, and she managed to
control the damage made by his brother. People knew her as the goddess of magic and “she
who knows all by name.” For one to cast a magic spell on someone, they had to know their
real names, which were typically concealed from the general public. Isis, however, knew all
people’s names, which made her a hero. Through this power, she managed to keep Seth in
check and protect the people from his wrath.
After Osiris shared civilization with the world, he returned to Egypt, but his brother
had cooked up a lethal attack. Seth took Osiris body measurements while he was dead asleep
and built a chest that fit his body perfectly. He then calls for an occasion where he promises
to give a handsome prize to anyone who fits in the chest. Everyone tried but they all failed
until Osiris’ turn. He fit perfectly. Seth then nailed the chest permanently, smeared it with
