Week 10 Story Lab

In the Osiris myth, the most important Egyptian myth, Set is portrayed as the usurper who killed and mutilated his own brother Osiris. He was mad that Osiris was king, and chopped Osiris up into many pieces. Osiris's wife Isis reassembled his corpse and resurrected her dead husband long enough to conceive his son and heir Horus. However, Osiris could never fully be whole again, and was forced to be the God of the Underworld. Horus sought revenge upon Set, and there are many myths describing the battles between Horus and Set. It is interesting, however, that all of these Gods are in such contention, as they are technically related. I think that is something that is very interesting, and I can potentially use to tie into my storybook. The familial interaction is something that I have always been interested in, and think it would work well with the story.
