Osiris

Background

As the Osirin myth developed, Heket found a role at the foot of his bier as the force that resurrected the king into the afterlife. From this position She breathed new life force in to the dead Osiris, acting as a divine midwife at his rebirth, and allowed him to return and take his place as King of the Underworld.
