Chapter 3: The Murder of Osiris

Set throws a lavish feast and presents a golden chest, offering it as a gift to whoever fits inside. When Osiris lies down in the chest, Set's conspirators slam the lid, seal it with molten lead, and throw it into the Nile. Osiris drowns. Isis's wail of grief shakes the heavens.
