• The Osiris myth reached its basic form in or before the 24th century BC. Many of its elements originated in religious ideas.
• Scholars have tried to discern the exact nature of the events that gave rise to the story, but they have reached no definitive conclusions.

• Parts of the myth appear in a wide variety of Egyptian texts, from funerary texts and magical spells to short stories.
• Yet no Egyptian source gives a full account of the myth, and the sources vary widely in their versions of events.
• Greek and Roman writings, particularly De Iside et Osiride by Plutarch, provide more information but may not always accurately reflect Egyptian beliefs. Through these writings, the Osiris myth persisted after knowledge of most ancient Egyptian beliefs was lost, and it is still well known today.

• The details of these sacred events differ greatly from one text to another and often seem contradictory.
• Mythology profoundly influenced Egyptian culture. It inspired or influenced many religious rituals and provided the ideological basis for kingship. Scenes and symbols from myth appeared in art in tombs, temples, and amulets.

dead, and ruler of the underworld.
