Mythus Osiridis

A laeva: Isis, Osiris maritus, et Horus filius, protagonistae mythi Osiridis. Statua domus viginti secundae.

Mythus Osiridis est fabula elaborata maximi momenti in mythologia Aegyptia antiqua. Quae ad necem Osiridis dei, pharaonis pristini, et consecutiones attinet. Homicidium Osiridis, Seth frater, imperium invadit. Isis, uxor Osiridis, corpus mariti interdum redintegrat, ut ei filium una concipiant. Reliquum fabulae Horum exprimit, progeniem Isidis et Osiridis, qui primum impubes vulnerabilis a matre protegitur, et tum rivalis Seth fit. Eorum pugna, saepe violenta, finitur Horo victore, qui ordinem Aegypto post iniustum Seth regnum restituit, ac rationem resurrectionis Osiridis conficit. Fabula, cum symbolismo multiplice, integra pars est conceptorum Aegyptiorum regni et successionis regalis, pugnae ordinis et confusionis, et praecipue mors et vita futura^?. Exprimit praeterea proprietatem necessariam cuiusque ex quattuor numinibus maximi momenti, et multorum elementorum eorum venerationis in religione Aegyptia quae a fabulo derivata sunt.

Textus Pyramidis in Pyramide Teti.

Mythus Osiridis formam primam ante saeculum 24 a.C.n. adepta est. Multa sua elementa in notionibus religiosis orta sunt, sed certamen Hori et Seth pugnam inter regiones in historia Agypti prima vel ex praehistoria partim fortasse revocat. Eruditi exactam naturam rerum ex quibus fabula orta est discernere conati sunt, sed res incerta manet.

Partes mythi in pervariis textibus Aegyptiis leguntur, inter quos sunt textus funerei, incantamenta magica, et fabulae breves. Mythus ergo omnibus aliis mythis Aegyptiis plura singula habet, et tenacior est, sed nullus fons Aegyptius plenam fabulam habet, fontesque versionibus rerum late variant. Scripta Graeca et Romana, praecipue De Iside et Osiride Plutarchi, data addita praebent, quae autem non semper fides Aegyptias exacte referunt. In his scriptis, mythus Osiridis postquam cognitio plurimarum fiderum Aegyptiarum antiquarum amissa erat diu perseverabat, et hodie compertum iam bene habetur.
