Take a look at how their worship and influence on culture and society has remained relevant into today. Forget Romeo and Juliet, or even Caesar and Cleopatra. The first tragic love story in history is that of ancient Egyptian gods Isis and Osiris. Isis and Osiris were brother and sister, children of the Egyptian gods Geb who represented the earth and goddess Nut who represented the Sky. Also brother and sister, Isis and Osiris were married to one another. They were the Queen and King of ancient Egypt, respectively. Their other siblings, Seth and Nephthys, were also married to one another. Osiris and Seth had fallen out several times, although there are different version as to what was behind it. One version says Osiris kicked Seth, while another says Osiris had an affair with Nephthys. Whatever the cause, Seth got his revenge by chopping up Osiris into 42 pieces and scattering them across the whole of Egypt. Seth then usurped the throne of Egypt for himself. The childless Isis was distressed by the killing of her husband. Along with her sister Nephthys, she sought high and low for his body parts. She put them back together with the help of tow Egyptian gods of the dead, Anubis and Thoth. They wrapped him up like a mummy. Then she convinced a son with the restored corpse, who she named Horus.
