Set and Osiris

Osiris was the first child of Geb and Nut. Osiris, (a tall, handsome, charismatic man) succeeded his father Geb as the reigning power of Stygia when Geb retired into the heavens. He married his sister, the beautiful Isis, when he became king. He civilized the Stygians, persuaded them to give up cannibalism, and taught them farming, and the pleasures of music, and provided them a legal code to live by. His brother Set, who was as ugly as he was evil, and who hated his handsome brother because Osiris had fathered a child with Set's wife, Nephthys (another sister!) gathered many allies and planned how to kill Osiris. Set hosted a banquet ostensibly to honor his brother. After much food and much wine, Set had a beautifully ornate chest brought into the room and said it would go to the person who best fit within it. When it was Osiris' turn to try and he had climbed in, Set and his minions slammed the lid shut and welded it tight with magics. Osiris suffocated, the chest was thrown into the Nile, and Set became king of Stygia.
