Osiris is the god of the afterlife, the underworld and agriculture. He is the offspring of the gods Geb and Nut and is the consort of Isis. The god Horus is his offspring.
He judged the dead in the afterlife and also oversaw agricultural activities. Sometimes, Osiris would be associated with life because of the prosperity brought by the growing of crops on the fertile land by the banks of the Nile.
Osiris was widely worshipped by the ancient Egyptians as Ruler of the Underworld until the time when Christianity started to spread to Egypt.
