Osiris - Egypt - Son of Geb and Nut, Osiris is brother to Setesh (Seth), Nephthys and Isis (to whom Osiris is also husband). Osiris is one of the earliest known gods. He was considered the symbol of eteral life and was worshipped at Abydos and Philae. Osiris is said to have abolished cannibalism and taught the arts of agriculture. He built the first temples and laid down fair laws for his people. Leaving Isis to rule Egypt, Osiris sought to expand his kingdom. He returned to find that Isis ruled wisely and his kingdom was still in perfect order. His brother, Seth, however, was plotting to kill him and legend says Seth tricked Osiris, sealing him in a box and cast it into the Nile. Isis searched for Osiris as Seth assumed Osiris' place as king. She found Osiris' body and returned with it to Egypt. Seth found his body and hacked it to pieces, tossing them into the Nile. Isis again found his pieces and put them back together by wrapping them in bandages, root of the term 'mummy'. This mummy then transformed an akh, and following that, this new form of Osiris traveled to the underworld to rule over and judge the souls of the dead.
Osiris - Egyptian - Daniel Jackson meets his ex-girlfriend Sarah Gardner. She leads him to discover a Goa'uld writing on a canopic jar. The jar (depicting the goddess Isis) was amongst a collection of Egyptian artifacts on loan from Egypt. As Daniel investigates further, he learns there were in fact 2 canopic jars and one (the Osiris jar) is missing. Daniel eventually finds out that the Goa'uld Osiris has taken Sarah Gardner as a host. Osiris becomes the System Lord along with the others at The Summit. (The Curse, The Fifth Man, Summit, part 1, Last Stand, part 2, Revelations, Chimera)
