Osiris

King of Egypt who civilised mankind, was shut in a chest by his brother Typhon (Set), dismembered, sought and reassembled by his wife Isis, and became ruler of the dead; eldest son of Nut and Geb, father of Horus. Herodotus calls him Dionysus, Plutarch tells the whole story, and the Egyptian hymns call him Un-Nefer, lord of Abydos and Busiris.
