Osiris. "One of the principal Egyptian deities, originally the local god of Abydos and Busiris, who early acquired a solar character and was identified with the setting sun. He thus came to be regarded as the ruler of the realm of the dead in the mysterious region below the western horizon." (The New International Encyclopaedia, Vol. XVII, New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1920, 608.)
