Set is the god of darkness, chaos and conflict. He is the brother of Isis and Osiris and the offspring of Ra. Originally, Set was the god of deserts, winds and storms. However, after conflicts between the followers of Horus and his own followers, the large group of people who had worshipped Horus regarded Set as a demon.
An Egyptian myth states that Osiris was slain by Set, who dismembered his body and dispersed it all over the world. However, Isis was able to collect all of Osiris’ body parts and restore him to life again. Osiris’ son, Horus, continues to fight Set in a never-ending battle to avenge his father’s murder.
