Anubis
Myth
Anubis was the
son of the goddess Nephthys, who had tricked her brother Osiris into fathering
her child. The goddess's husband, Set (Seth), hated Osiris and planned to
murder the child when he was born. Nephthys therefore decided to abandon the
infant at birth. She hid him in the marshes by the Nile River, where he was
found by Isis, the wife of Osiris. Isis raised Anubis, and when he reached
adulthood, he repaid her by becoming her protector.
Anubis’ Appearance: He has a head of a jackal.
