Short summary of isis and osiris?

Answer 1

Nut gave birth to Osiris, Set, Nephthys, Isis, and Horus. Osiris married Isis, as Set married Nephthys. When Osiris was bigger, he was seated on the throne and ruled Egypt as a good and great king.

Osiris left Egypt to teach the people of other lands, and Isis ruled in his place. Set tried to get the throne of Osiris, but he failed the first time. After that, he invited Osiris on a feast. He had already taken the measurements of his brother, and made a chest that fit Osiris exactly. Everyone at the feast admired the wooden chest and desired to own it. Set said that the person who fits perfectly in the chest would his own. The chest fit no one properly except Osiris. He locked him in and threw him in the Nile.

The wooden chest floated into the Great Green and came ashore at Byblos, in Syria. There it was flung by the waves into a tamarisk bush. The bush grew into a mighty tree that enclosed the chest. The king of Syria found it there. He cut the tree and made a pillar that enclosed the chest, that was supported by the roof of his palace.

Isis came searching for the wooden chest. She talked to the Queen's maid servants and braided their hair. The Queen was delighted by the beautiful braids which smelled like sweet perfume, and invited Isis into the palace. Isis took care of a baby price. She placed the child in a fire. The Queen ran to the child and pulled him out of the fire, thereby denying him immortality. Isis revealed who she was and asked the King for the wooden chest that was enclosed by the pillar. The pillar split open and Isis took the wooden that contained the body of Osiris.

Iris took his body back to Egypt and hid it in a secret place. Set found it by hunting in the moonlight. He cut it into 14 pieces, which he scattered throughout the land. Isis searched the land and buried each piece in the land and a temple was built by men at each place where a piece of Osiris was buried. And 13 different cities came to be the burial place of Osiris. Osiris entered the Duat (underworld) and ruled there as a good and just king.
