Best Answer

Seth killed Osiris for a few reasons.

Nephthys took Isis's form and seduced Osiris.

She became pregnant with Anubis. Of course Seth was outraged that his wife had an affair with Osiris, considering he already hated Osiris enough. It's said that this added to the reasons he wanted to kill Osiris. Also, Osiris was the Pharaoh, and Seth was jealous. He always wanted the throne for himself.

Seth murdered Osiris by drowning him in the Nile then Isis brought him back to life, and Seth killed him again, this time chopping him into little pieces and hiding him all over the Egyptian desert. Isis brought Osiris back to life, enough to conceive Horus but then Osiris died again, this time because Isis's magic wasn't strong enough.

Seth is angry at Osiris because he's jealous of him. This happens a lot in fictional stories, like The Lion King. A king's brother is jealous of him and plots to overthrow him to gain the thrown. The same thing happened with Seth and Osiris.

Seth killed Osiris when Isis was away, he hosted a celebration and invited his brother. There was a very fine chest and the other gods desired it, but Set said it was only for one who would fit within it, so many gods attempted it, but the chest only fitted Osiris - when he was within Set shut it and killed Osiris sending him down the Nile. Later, when Isis found the dead Osiris and left him alone to gather herbs to revive him, Set cut Osiris up into fourteen or sixteen pieces and scattered them across Egypt.

Yes. Seth/Set killed his brother Osiris and chopped him up into pieces. However, Isis, Osiris's wife, put Osiris back together and brought him back to life.

Who is seth in the myth Osiris and Isis?

Well it is known that Seth killed Osiris. One day Seth invited Osiris and Seth had already planed to kill his own brother. What happened was Seth then brought out a pig that had all different jewles and fancy decorations in it. He said " whoever fits perfectly in this pig will be able to keep it for them selfs". Ok so one by one everyone there went in it and no one fit so it then was Osiris turn. He fit in it perfectly. But, Seth already he knew he would because he measured his brother perfectly. So right then when he sat into the pig Seth said " oh yes you fit so you get to keep it it will be the coffin you die in". While saying that he slamed the cover down closing it on his brother and putting it into the Nile river. That is one of the stories. it was not a pig it was a box that he decorated, after osiris' death isis was devasteded at the death of her husband so she went on a journey to find the box but to no avail, she then came across a bunch of children who told her where seth had thrown the box in the nile, this then took her to the land of babalonia or something she found him after becoming a nurse to the queens daughter etc etc seth found out and cut osiris up the end <3

How did Osiris die?

Osiris was King of Egypt & Husband to Isis the Queen Of Egypt Well it started in Ancient Egypt when Osiris had a brother called Seth and Seth was a lot of animals including the hog and half human although he was Beast on the outside and he was jealous of Osiris because Osiris was Loved and worshiped . Seth had an idea, So when Osiris was sleeping Seth measured his body. He made a beautifully crafted Chest. Then threw a party and allowed anybody who fitted into the chest to keep it. The guests tried to fit it but were either to big or to small so Osiris himself allowed to go into the chest and it fitted but instead of Seth giving him the chest he slammed the chest down, then filled it with lead and threw the chest which had Osiris' body in it in to the Nile River. Isis didn't give up and went looking for it with her friends and found it. He went to the underworld and was king of the underworld.
