Seti I offers to Osiris, Isis and Horus - the Abydos Triad

Abydos Triad - Osiris, Isis and Horus

Osiris - The god of the underworld. Osiris was the husband of Isis and the brother of Set. His betrayal and murder by Set and Isis's search for his body is a beautiful series of Legends. Osiris and Isis had a son, Horus. After his death, Osiris, progresses to the underworld to preside as ruler there.

Isis - The mother of Horus. As the mother of Horus, Isis was considered to be mother of the King. In the Late and Graeco-Roman period she is often portrayed suckling the infant horus. The hieraglyph for her name is a throne. She is ofen depicted with a throne on her head or a solar disc with cow's horns. She is sometimes dipicted with large sheltering wings. Her main cult was at Philae.

She was closely associated with magic. She could heal and assume any form she chose, which came in handy when she was searching for the body of Osirus. Two other important aspects were "Great White Sow of Heliopolis" and the Isis-cow which gave birth to the sacred Apis Bull of Memphis.

Horus - The child of Isis and Osirus. Horus was killed by Seth, as was his father, Osirus. However, in legend, Horus joined his father in the underworld and returned to fight and defeat Set at Edfu. He fought in his corporal form that was resurected from the Duat and in the form of a winged sun disc.
