All About Anubis
Ahh....Anubis. my favorite.
He was the Greek version of Egyptian Anpu.
Anubis was the son of Nephthys. By some traditions, the father was Set(Set was often depicted with a jackal's head too) by others, Osiris. (And by still other traditions
his mother was Isis.) Anubis was depicted as a jackal, or as a jackal-headed man; in primitive times he was probably
simply the jackal god.
Probably because of the jackal's tendency to prowl around tombs, he became associated with the dead, and by the
Old Kingdom, Anubis was worshipped as the inventor of embalming, who had embalmed the dead Osiris, thus helping
preserve him in order to live again. His task became to glorify and preserve all the dead.
Anubis was also worshipped under the form Upuaut ("Opener of the Ways"), sometimes with a rabbit's head, who
conducted the souls of the dead to their judgement, and who monitored the Scales of Truth to protect the dead from
the second death in the underworld.
I can't seem to find a decent picture of him.
