Mısır Tanrıları: Osiris ve İsis

The humans of Egypt in ancient times, looking up at the universe and being struck with awe and wonder at the nature of all things, supposed that there were two eternal and primary gods: the Sun and the Moon. Of these, they named the one Osiris and the other Isis, each name being given for a specific etymological reason. When these names are translated into the Greek manner of speech, Osiris means "many-eyed." This is fitting, for by casting his rays everywhere, he sees all the earth and sea as if with many eyes. The poet also speaks in agreement with this: "The Sun, who sees all and hears all." Some of the ancient Greek mythologists call Osiris by the name Dionysus, and also Sirius by a similar name.
