Nephthys |
Nephthys
is the daughter of Nut, sister
of Isis and wife of
Seth, the god of disorder. Her
loyalties, however, lay with Osiris,
by whom she had a child, Anubis. When
Seth found out who the father was, he murdered Osiris, and Nephthys
joined Isis in the search for Osiris’s body. Along with her sister
Isis, she befriends and protects the dead. She is represented as a
female with the hieroglyph of her name
on her head.
