Osiris was once a human pharaoh of Egypt and Osiris's brother, Seth, was jealous of all power so, one day Seth tried putting Osiris in a coffin and float him on the Nile River but, Isis, Osiris's sister/ wife found his coffin and his Osiris's coffin in Lower Egypt where Seth could not find him. Later on, Seth found Osiris's coffin and tore Osiris in 14 pieces and scattered them over all Egypt. Isis again, found out about this and looked for all of these pieces, and collected them. One night Isis, god of magic, brought Osiris back to life and that's how Osiris became god of the underworld.
I've heard a different Version... Seth is called Set, and he is jealous of Osiris. He brings a coffin to a gathering. He has forged it to only to fit Osiris. He calls out to the gods, and says "Whoever can fit in this coffin shall have eternal glory!" All the Gods lined up, and took turns trying to fit in the coffin. When it was Osiris's turn, He fitted in the coffin. Set slammed the top of the coffin on, and poured red-hot lava over him. This killed Osiris, but, as Gods never die, he became God of the Underworld.
