Note Nor is Osiris seen — MILTON’S MINOR POEMS.
Reading edition
213. Nor is Osiris seen. Osiris was the principal god of the Egyptians, [84] brother and husband of Isis. His highest function was as god of the Nile. He met his death at the hands of his brother Typhon, a deity of sterility, by whom he was torn into fourteen pieces. Thereupon a general lament was raised throughout Egypt. The bull Apis was regarded as the visible incarnation of Osiris.—Murray’s Manual of Mythology.
