Osiris was the Egyptian God of the underworld and among the most popular deities in ancient Egypt. He was the son and oldest child of Geb, the Earth deity and Nut, the sky Goddess. In addition, he symbolized death, resurrection and the cycle of Nile floods, that Egypt relied on for agricultural fertility. According to the myths, he was a King in Egypt who was murdered and dismembered by his brother Seth. After his death, his beloved wife, Isis, reassembled his body parts and brought him back to life. She then conceived a son, the God Horus. Osiris was often depicted as a mummified king, with green skin.
