Osiris was the first, they record, to make mankind give up cannibalism; for after Isis had discovered the fruit of both wheat and barley which grew wild over the land along with the other plants but was still unknown to man, and Osiris had also devised the cultivation of these fruits, all men were glad to change their food, both because of the pleasing nature of the newly-discovered grains and because it seemed to their advantage to refrain from their butchery of one another. 1.22.6. It is for this reason that travellers are not allowed to set foot on this island. And all the inhabitants of the Thebaid, which is the oldest portion of Egypt, hold it to be the strongest oath when a man swears "by Osiris who lieth in Philae." Now the parts of the body of Osiris which were found were honoured with burial, they say, in the manner described above, but the privates, according to them, were thrown by Typhon into the Nile because no one of his accomplices was willing to take them. Yet Isis thought them as worthy of divine honours as the other parts, for, fashioning a likeness of them, she set it up in the temples, commanded that it be honoured, and made it the object of the highest regard and reverence in the rites and sacrifices accorded to the god. |

As they relate, Isis proceeded to her son Horus, who was being reared in Buto, Cf. 366 a, infra . and bestowed the chest in a place well out of the way; but Typhon, who was hunting by night in the light of the moon, happened upon it. Recognizing the body he divided it into fourteen parts Cf. 368 a, infra . Diodorus, i. 21, says sixteen parts. and scattered them, each in a different place. Isis learned of this and sought for them again, sailing through the swamps in a boat of papyrus. Cf. Eusebius, Praepar. Evang. v. p. 198 b. This is the reason why people sailing in such boats are not harmed by the crocodiles, since these creatures in their own way show either their fear or their reverence for the goddess. The traditional result of Osiris’s dismemberment is that there are many so-called tombs of Osiris in Egypt Cf. 359 a, 365 a, infra , and Diodorus, i. 21. ; for Isis held a funeral for each part when she had found it. Others deny this and assert that she caused effigies of him to be made and these she distributed among the several cities, pretending that she was giving them his body, in order that he might receive divine honours in a greater number of cities, and also that, if Typhon should succeed in overpowering Horus, he might despair of ever finding the true tomb when so many were pointed out to him, all of them called the tomb of Osiris. Cf. Diodorus, i. 21. of the parts of Osiris’s body the only one which Isis did not find was the male member, Cf. 365 c, infra . for the reason that this had been at once tossed into the river, and the lepidotus, the sea-bream. and the pike had fed upon it Cf. Strabo, xvii. 1. 40 (p. 812). ; and it is from these very fishes the Egyptians are most scrupulous in abstaining. But Isis made a replica of the member to take its place, and consecrated the phallus, Cf. Diodorus, i. 22. 6. in honour of which the Egyptians even at the present day celebrate a festival. |
