Osiris is one of the most significant and widely worshiped gods in the Egyptian pantheon, representing aspects such as death, resurrection, and fertility. His name comes from a Greek transliteration of its Ancient Egyptian pronunciation, Ὄσιρις Ósiris, meaning 'Mighty'. According to Egyptian mythos, Osiris was the son of the sky goddess Nut and the earth god Geb, brother of Set and Nephthys, spouse to his sister Isis, and father of Horus. Upon being dismembered by Set, who envied Osiris for becoming the first king of the Nile, Isis set off on a journey to find his scattered body parts. Isis reconstructed Osiris with her mystic abilities and the aid of other deities, after which he was pronounced the Underworld's ruler and judge of the dead.
