The selection “Hymn to Osiris” presents a prayer to the Egyptian god of the underworld, Osiris. Ancient Egyptians believed in a pantheon of many deities, and Osiris numbered among the most important. As god of the earth, he signified the fertility of agriculture, on which ancient Egyptians depended. As god of the dead, he watched over the judgment of souls who journeyed into the afterlife. The Book of the Dead, in which this hymn appears, guided ancient Egyptians on their journey toward immortality.
