So considering the parallels between Osiris/Horus and Jesus, isn't it interesting that we have a story of one brother murdering another, a la Cain and Abel? I must look into that more :)
Who was Seth?
- Brother of Osiris, Isis and Nephthys. Son of Geb and Nut.
- Some Pharaohs associated themselves with him rather than Osiris or Horus.
- Legend paints him as a destructive, chaotic god.
- He murdered Osiris.
- Represents rebellious, untamed forces with humans and elemental nature - he is the Dark Side!
- Associated with stormy weather, hippopotamus, crocodile and boar.
- His colour is red.
(Lawson, 1996)
