Definition: Osiris was the Egyptian god of the underworld who was killed by his brother Seth, who then chopped up Osiris' body. Isis found the pieces and persuaded the god Re to return Osiris to life. Isis put the pieces of Osiris together in a mummy and breathed life into him. His son Horus avenged him by sending Seth into the desert.
Examples: Since the Egyptian god Osiris had already died, he was made a god of the dead whose role was judging the souls of the dead.
