Topic: Osiris (disambiguation)


  
  Osiris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Osiris was originally the god of the underworld and the dead in the Ennead version of Egyptian mythology, in which he was one of the four children of the earth (Geb) and the sky (Nuit), and was the husband of Isis (Aset), who represented life.
However, as Isis, Osiris' wife, represented life, in the Ennead, it was considered somewhat inappropriate for her to be the mother of a god associated with death, and so instead, it was usually said that Nephthys (Nebet Het), the other of the two female children of Geb and Niut, was his mother.
In the show, Osiris is described as the "keeper of the gate, master of all fate" and is used in resurrection rituals.

This aspect of Osiris was referred to as Banebdjed (also spelt Banebdjedet, which is technically feminine) which literally means The ba of the lord of the djed, which roughly means The soul of the lord of the pillar of stability.

 Isis - Indopedia, the Indological knowledgebase
She is a life-death-rebirth deity (see Legend of Osiris and Isis), as well as one of the Ennead.
She married Osiris, her brother and the father of her son Horus.
Osiris was murdered by Seth but she reassembled his body (leading to her association with the underworld and the funerary cult), impregnated herself with his body and gave birth to Horus in Khemnis, a swamp.

As a funerary deity, she was associated with Osiris, god of the underworld (Aaru), and thus was considered his wife, whereas Nepthys was the wife of Set.
The tale describes both why Anubis is seen as an underworld deity (he is a son of Osiris), and why he couldn't inherit Osiris' position (he was not a legitimate heir), neatly preserving Osiris' position as lord of the underworld.
This lead to the evolution of the idea that Osiris needed to be resurrected, and so to the Legend of Osiris and Isis, a myth so significant that everything else paled in comparison.

As a funerary deity, she was associated with Osiris, god of the underworld (Aaru), and thus was considered his wife, wheras Nepthys was the wife of Set.
However, Osiris found her very attractive, as he thought she was Isis, and so they had sex together, resulting in the birth of Anubis.
The tale describes both why it is that Anubis is seen as an underworld deity, namely he is a son of Osiris, and how he couldn't inherit Osiris' position, as he was not a legitimate heir, neatly preserving Osiris' position as lord of the underworld.

 Articles - Lazarus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
In Hebrew, the Egyptian god Osiris (whose name in demotic/hieroglyphics is thought to have been pronounced Aser) is also translated Elaser (from "El" meaning god and "Aser").
In the Bible the raising is placed in "Bethany" (which in Hebrew can also be "Beth-Anu", "Beth" meaning "house"), whereas in the Osiris legend, it is placed in the house of the dead (which in demotic is a place named "Annu").
This similarity is used by some scholars to suggest that the Lazarus story is part of a general body of motifs shared among mystery religions in the Mediterranean, which became absorbed into the Jesus story.

The category life-death-rebirth deity also known as a "dying-and-rising" god is a convenient means of classifying the many divinities in world mythology who are born, suffer death or an eclipse or other death-like experience, pass a phase in the underworld among the dead, and are subsequently reborn, in either a literal or symbolic sense.
For example, Horus' resurrection of the god Osiris ("El-'Aser") has been linked with the resurrection of Lazarus.

Those who have a naturalistic view of history do not believe in divine intervention or miracles without any evidence for them, such as the resurrection of Jesus mentioned by the Gospels.
There are many similarities between stories about Jesus and myths of Pagan Godmen such as Mithras, Apollo, Attis and Osiris Dionysus, leading to conjectures that the pagan myths were adopted by early accounts of Jesus.
In the original, Koine Greek, form of the Gospels, Jesus is referred to by the name Iesous (from which the more recent spelling "Jesus" derives).
