#rebirth god

[nogetron]

Osiris, Egyptian god of the afterlife. Born between the sky goddess Nut and the earth god Geb, Osiris was one of five of their children. His siblings were his wife Isis, his envious brother Set, Set’s wife Nephtys and the elder falcon god Heru-ur. These siblings made up the last generation of the Ennead. A young Osiris dedicated himself to aiding his great grandfather Ra, though the ruler of all gods, Ra’s physical body began to age and with that age Ra’s mind became senile. This culminated in Ra creating Sekhmet who went on a violent rampage across the world. Osiris lead the operation to rectify Ra’s mistake, subduing Sekhmet. Ra recognized his failures and declining health, forgoing his mortal body returning to his true deific form. However upon returning to the sky Ra bestowed his great grandson Osiris the kingship of the gods. Set saw this act as an injustice, letting his envy turn into rage. So to take the throne by force, Set kills Osiris, dismembering him and hiding his body parts across the world. However with the help of Set’s turncoat wife Nephthys and nephew Anubis, Isis was able to find the pieces of Osiris and resurrect her love. Osiris’ son Horus, outraged by the murder of his father, lead a campaign against Set, ultimately dispatching the usurper. Despite Isis’ efforts and apparent success, Osiris’ being was still tethered in Duat. In Duat Osiris oversaw the afterlife and its processes, looking over the spirit’s journey across the underworld for them to be judged and sent to the field of reeds.

Osiris was a later addition to the Egyptian mythos, his worship and myths being younger than his brother Set. The origins of Osiris’ worship is hotly debated, one prevalent theory states that Osiris actually originated from the worship of Andjety, a much older Egyptian god. Both gods share domains of fertility, agriculture, and shepherding. Both held the crook and flail relating to Shepherding, both wore similar crowns and both were associated with the flooding and receding of the Nile. The two gods are also heavily associated with each other in texts, sometimes even fused together. Most likely Osiris branched off from Andjety’s worship and re assimilated him once Osiris gained state significance. Other theories exist as well, ranging from Osiris being a deified ruler to him being a Syrian god, both of these however are less supported than Andjety. Originally Anubis was the definitive god of the dead, with him being one of the most worshipped gods in the pantheon. However once Osiris and his worship gained popularity, Osiris supplanted Anubis and lowered his station in the pantheon. Osiris embodied many different things, he was considered the god of the dead, agriculture, fertility, rebirth and the underworld. However Osiris also gained the aspect of a moon god from his association with Khonsu and Iah. Before Osiris, funeral inscriptions for kings and Pharaoh’s were dedicated to Ra and Anubis as the original belief was that dead spirits rose to join Ra in the afterlife, but Osiris’ instead dictated that dead rulers rest alongside Osiris in Duat while normal spirits enter the field of reeds. Even the funeral inscriptions used in tombs changed to praising Osiris. The worshippers of Osiris viewed the god Benebdjedet as the manifestation of Osiris’ Ba, essentially the Soul’s personality or uniqueness, however this belief wasn’t uniform as other sects of worship claimed Benebdjedet as the Ba of Ra or Ptah. Osiris was actually the name used by the Greeks to refer to the god, the actual Egyptian name of Osiris can be rendered as Usir, Asar and Wesir.

I never had any issues with the character renders for Remake but the new ones for Rebirth look so much better it's insane

I've been binging Batman Beyond recently (Terry ily so much) and thought about how- bc of the JLU twist which I think isn't even canon to the comics BB verse but shhh bare with me- he'd technically be Damian's half brother??? Which is just so ridiculously soap opera to me. I need them to interact in a silly time travel adventure so bad you don't even understand (ID in alt)

[rocketbirdie]

it would have been less gay if they'd kissed

Hear me out, here me out…

“And that it was from Chaos that the first three primordial gods sprang forth: Gaea (Earth), Tartarus (the Underworld), and Eros (Love) - Hesiod's Theogony

Gaea/Earth: Ariadne 

Tartarus/The Underworld: Eurydice

Eros/Love: Caeneus

Purely me headcanoning my heart little away. But I love how in a sense they all represent the three eternal beings ‘of chaos’ that make up creation incarnate. 

Ariadne: Who is now the ‘Mother of her people and her land’ as president. A representation of feminine power. Life

Eurydice: The first person to return from the Underworld and essentially, conquer/master death. Death 

Caeneus: Sweet, sweet Caeneus who embodies love, the driving force of creation. Love

They don't embody the return to Chaos per say, rather the power that sprang from it. The necessary cycle of death and rebirth, destruction and creation that Zeus has selfishly stalled. That they, as a trio will restart.

Epic the Musical:

Athena: Please dad help Odysseus! I realized he is my good friend and needs help!

Zeus: Who? That shameful man I made him choose to kill himself or his men? Why would I do that? It was so fun!You just seek attention! I'll tell you what though; if you convince others then I shall release him! Let's play

Athena: *does that*

Zeus: How DARE you!

Zeus: *strikes her*

The Odyssey:

Athena: Please father how could you forget on Odysseus who was always pious to the gods?

Zeus: Me? Forget about him? How can I? He is like one of the best when it comes to sacrifices and respecting the gods.

Athena: Then why won't you help him?

Zeus: I have nothing against the man. But my hands are tied! He committed hubris and nemesis had to find him and my brother is pissed off at him. I can't do much.

Athena: I cannot face him but now he is away please help Odysseus at least escape Ogygia! Send Hermes to bring the message and I shall go to help his son! The prophecy needs to be fulfilled!

Zeus: you speak the truth. Let us try.
