Editing Osiris (section)

===Historical Mythology===
Because mythology is never clear, there's a few origin stories and they read as a choose your own adventure of Osiris's death and resurrection:

Osiris myth in which Set (Osiris' brother), along with the Queen of Ethiopia, conspired with 72 accomplices to plot the assassination of Osiris. Set fooled Osiris into getting into a box, which Set then shut, sealed with lead, and threw into the Nile. Osiris' wife, Isis, searched for his remains until she finally found him embedded in a tamarisk tree trunk, which was holding up the roof of a palace in Byblos on the Phoenician coast. She managed to remove the coffin and retrieve her husband's body. 

Set steals and dismembers the corpse only after Isis has retrieved it. Isis then finds and buries each piece of her husband's body, with the exception of his penis, which she has to reconstruct with magic because the original was eaten by fish in the river. It's worth noting that this version comes from some Greek-in-origin Roman citizen guy, and there may be a vested interest in a bit of propaganda. "Haha your god has no dick" is a timeless classic. 

In one version of the myth, Isis used a spell given to her by Thoth to briefly revive Osiris so he could impregnate her. After embalming and burying Osiris, Isis conceived and gave birth to their son, Horus. Thereafter Osiris lived on as the god of the underworld. 

Another version of the myth depicts Osiris as an ancient king who taught the Egyptians the arts of civilization, including agriculture, then travelled the world with his sister Isis, the satyrs, and the nine muses, before finally returning to Egypt. Osiris was then murdered by his evil brother Typhon, who was identified with Set. Typhon divided the body into twenty-six pieces, which he distributed amongst his fellow conspirators in order to implicate them in the murder. Isis and Hercules (Horus) avenged the death of Osiris and slew Typhon. Isis recovered all the parts of Osiris' body. She made replicas of them and distributed them to several locations, which then became centers of Osiris worship.
