According to the stories of Plutarch, the sons of Osiris were Horus - a solar deity and Anubis - the god of the underworld. However, in the case of Mount Isis, Osiris' wife became pregnant from his corpse.
Anubis - the god of the underworld
In ancient Egyptian mythology, Anubis is mainly the guide of human souls through darkness, the patron of magic and the teacher of magic. Anubis's mother was the wife of Seth Nephthys. She begs her son as a result of adultery. Nephthys took the form of the wife of Osiris Isis in order to seduce him. Frightened by her husband’s infidelity, Nephthys threw Anubis into the reed thickets, where Isis found him, who raised God.
Usually Anubis is portrayed as a man with a muzzle of a jackal or a wolf, which symbolizes death - the devouring of dead bodies.
There is another version of the jackal head of Anubis. In ancient Egypt, jackals often tore graves and ate human remains, so they were not loved. By deifying the jackal, the Egyptians wanted to put an end to this.
In life, Anubis leads a person through the darkness of ignorance, and after the end of earthly life - through mortal darkness. He leads the soul through Amenti - a special area of the underworld, otherwise called the "hidden place", to the halls of his father Osiris, where forty-two divine judges decide whether to send her to the "reed fields" - a place of bliss or betray destruction. Therefore, the Greeks identified Anubis as Hermes - the messenger of the gods.
In the Ancient Kingdom, Anubis was considered the main god of the kingdom of the dead, the judge of people and gods - he considers the hearts of the dead. In the Egyptian Book of the Dead there is a passage where Anubis weighs the hearts that he puts on one side of the Scales of Truth, on the second bowl lies the feather of the goddess of justice Maat, and if the heart is heavier, the soul was sent to hell.
