Understanding the Forsaken God of Egyptians.

 

SET (Seth)

was the malevolent sibling of the Egyptian gods Osiris, Isis, and Nephthys. Set, the son of the soil deity Geb and the sky goddess Nut, tore himself away from his mother's body before he could completely develop. As a result, he employed animal parts to make up his body. Set was associated with various animals, including the pig, donkey, scorpion, antelope, hippopotamus, and crocodile.

The name Seth, also known as Satet, represents strength as well as chaos, devastation, confusion, wickedness, rage, and storms. Seth was dreaded by both mankind and gods because he murdered Osiris, but his nature was complicated, and at other points in Egyptian history, he was adored as the savior of the Solar Barque of Ra.
Set, who was once revered as a sky and storm god, had one of Egypt's earliest cults. Each day, he journeyed across the sky in the great god Ra's sun ship; each night, as he traveled through the underworld, he slew the mighty serpent Aapep to defend Ra.

However, Set grew jealous of the other gods over time, and his betrayal against them transformed him into one of the most powerful forces of evil.

Above all, Set envied his brother Osiris, who was king of Egypt while Set was simply lord of the desert. Set, determined to murder his sibling, organized a lavish feast and invited Osiris and the other gods.

He had craftsmen construct a big and artistically ornamented box, which he placed in his palace's entry hall. When Osiris arrived, Set deceived him into entering the box. As soon as Osiris entered the box, Set instructed his minions to nail down the lid, seal it with molten lead, and toss it into the Nile River. Osiris drowned.

Their sister Isis, who was also Osiris' wife, looked for him and eventually discovered the box. She resurrected Osiris long enough to conceive Horus. However, Set discovered Osiris's body and dismembered it. He then spread the pieces around Egypt. Nephthys, Set's wife and sister, assisted Isis in locating the parts and resurrecting Osiris.

Following that, Osiris went to govern the underworld as the King of the Dead.

Horus eventually fought Set to avenge his father's death. Horus vanquished his evil uncle through a series of heroic fights. He would have slain him, but Isis felt sorry for Set and begged Horus to spare his life. The ancient Egyptians saw the conflict between Horus and Set as the final clash between good and evil.

As Egypt's Osiris religion expanded, Set worship decreased. Egyptian priests eventually proclaimed Set an enemy of the gods. His name and picture were erased from numerous monuments, and he became identified with Aapep (also known as Apopis), the enormous serpent whom he had once slain each night to defend Ra.

            Among the siblings, on their younger days, Set was the sweetest young god as he is the youngest among the 4 children gods Geb and Nut had despite of his title being the god of chaos.

Upon growing up, he looked up to Osiris as his older brother. But his hatred started when Osiris slept with Nephthys and had a child which is Anubis, the god of mummification and death. Set loved Nephthys so much that the revelation of betrayal drove him to seek revenge and aim for the throne which Osiris reigns along with Isis as well as imprisoning his wife. He wanted Osiris dead, so he thinks of ways to get rid of him and prove himself that he isn't just a god, but a powerful one to overthrow the ruling god Osiris.

                 Set being the personification of his title: chaos, destruction, and rage, explains that even the deities, gods, heavenly creators ;  once betrayed: trust, love, and commitment will shatter like the finest glass pieces ever created.
