Term: Osiris

DEFINITIONS

Osiris:

Egyptian god of the dead and of the underworld. He is shown as having a beard like the Pharoah and skin that is green. His crown has ostrich feathers on either side and he holds the ruling emblems of the shepard’s crook and a flail. Osiris is the brother and husband of Isis. He is also considered a god of the Nile floods and therefore a god of agriculture. Some see him as a king of the gods and a god of law and education.
