Seth
was depicted as a strange creature that seems to be
a composite of various animals like a giraffe, camel,
ant eater or okapi.
He
was the Egyptian god of storms and chaos.
Out
of jealousy, Seth murdered his brother Osiris, the ruler
of Egypt.
He
tricked Osiris into lying down inside an expensive chest,
with the promise that it would be his, if he could fit
inside it.
With
Osiris in position, Seth's collaborators nailed the
lid shut and threw him into the Nile to drown.
Isis,
the devoted wife of Osiris, searched for and found the
chest which held Osiris' body.
Seth
was so furious when she discovered his brother's body
that he cut it into fourteen pieces and scattered them
throughout the land.
