Osiris was an Egyptian god, of the afterlife, the underworld, and the dead, but more appropriately as the god of transition, resurrection, and regeneration. He was classically depicted with a pharaoh's beard, partially mummy-wrapped at the legs, wearing a distinctive Atef-crown with two large ostrich feathers at either side, and holding a symbolic Crock and Flail. Osiris was at times considered the oldest son of the god Geb, though other sources state his father is the sun-God Ra, and the sky goddess Nut, as well as being brother and husband of Isis, with Horus being considered his posthumously begotten son. As ruler of the dead, Osiris was also sometimes called "king of the living": ancient Egyptians considered the blessed dead "the living ones".
