God related to vegetation and beyond. Son of Nut and Geb, the saying was born in a necropolis near Memphis. He is the brother of Nephthys and Seth, and brother and husband of Isis.

Isis gave birth to Horus after his death, having put on his body after taking the shape of a bird. Osiris as a man wrapped mummy of a garment, holding in his hands the insignia of royal power, the scepter and the whip. Her green skin is an allusion to his role as god of vegetation. Her crown, Atef, is the crown of Upper Egypt which were added two red feathers on both sides.

Osiris had much places of worship, which was the main Abydos (Ibdju) in Upper Egypt, where the legend of the god was recreated every year at a festival, and Busiris (Djedu) in the Delta. According to a famous legend, he was killed by the rival god Seth at a banquet. Seth ordered a magnificent tomb to his brother's actions, it did return the guests to try. Osiris settled there in turn, Seth and promptly closed the lid, sealed it and threw everything into the Nile. The coffin drifted along the Nile and ended his race in a tree, near the city of Byblos. Isis discovered the sarcophagus and took him back to Egypt. (This is the story is attested by the Greek historian Plutarch, although Seth was identified as the killer of the Old Kingdom.) Seth took advantage of a lack of Isis and rage , cut Osiris' body into pieces before throwing them into the Nile. (In the text Egypt is the only fact recounting the death of the god Osiris.) Isis weeping throughout all the land in search of the remains of her husband, and finally brought all the pieces of Osiris with the exception of sex, which was grabbed by a crocodile (according to Plutarch) or a fish (according to Egyptian texts). According to certain texts, gender is buried in Memphis. Isis replaced sex gone to the aid of her magic, then took the form of a bird before landing on it.

As god of vegetation, we also say that the scattered pieces of Osiris across the country are like grains of wheat that are sown. 'Gardens of Osiris, which is sometimes placed in tombs - small "mold" of wood or clay in the form of the god in which we sowed the seeds - and what drove him to symbolize the resurrection in the afterlife, the triumph of life over death .

It was the legend that Osiris was the god of the dead and the master of the underworld. It was associated first royal funeral rites, and then slowly than in the general population. The pharaoh after his death, was supposed to become an Osiris. Osiris has also participated in the trial of the dead, as "master of the aat" (of the Divine Law).
