The wicked brother of Osiris, Seth was associatd with chaos, infertility and
the desert. He was the son of Nut.
In the Osiris legend, Seth
lures his brother into a trap and murders him, sending his body floating away
on the Nile. Isis searches for, and eventually finds the body.
In some Dynasties he was honored as the essential chaos that must form a necessary
duality with order. Kings in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Dynasties incorporated
his name (Seti).

The Hyksos adopted him as the personification of their own god when they ruled
at Avris. His cult center at Tanis is near the site of Avris.
