  Atum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strictly, the myth states that Atum ejaculated his Semen into his mouth, impregnating himself, possibly indicating autofellatio, which has lead many to misinterpret (euphemistically) the myth as indicating creation from mucus).
Later belief held that Shu and Tefnut were created by Atum having sex with his shadow, which was referred to as Iusaaset (also spelt Juesaes, Ausaas, Iusas, and Jusas, and in Greek as Saosis), meaning (the) great (one who) comes forth.
Consequently, Iusaaset was seen as the mother and grandmother of the gods.

 Tree of Life - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Egyptian mythology, in the Ennead system of Heliopolis, the first couple, apart from Shu and Tefnut (moisture and dryness) and Geb and Nuit (earth and sky), are Isis and Osiris.
They were said to have emerged from the acacia tree of Saosis, which the Egyptians considered the tree of life, referring to it as the tree in which life and death are enclosed.
A much later myth relates how Set killed Osiris, putting him in a coffin, and throwing it into the Nile, the coffin becoming embedded in the base of a tamarisk tree.

Plutarch in his On Isis and Osiris indicates that the king and queen of Byblos who unknowingly have the Osiris' body in a pillar in their hall are Melcarthus (that is Melqart) and Astarte (though he notes some instead call the queen Saosis or Nemanûs which Plutarch interprets as corresponding to the Greek name Athenais).
In the description of the Phoenician pantheon ascribed to Sanchuniathon Astarte appears as a daughter of Sky and Earth and sister of the god El.

Thus it happened that Isis was sent for and became so intimate with the queen that the queen made her the nurse of her baby.
They say that the king's name was Malcander; the queen's name some say was Astarte, others Saosis, and still others Nemanus, which the Greeks would call Athenais.
They relate that Isis nursed the child by giving it her finger to suck instead of her breast, and in the night she would burn away the mortal portions of its body.
