Glad if I could help.........
Osiris was the god of the dead, and ruler of the underworld. Osiris was the brother/husband of Isis, and the brother of Nepthys and Seth. He was also the father of Horus. ... In fact, the ancient Egyptians believed that Osiris gave them the gift of barley, one of their most important crops.
no the god Osiris did
Hathor is Osiris' mother. Osiris is Isis' Husband and brother. Isis is Horus' mother. They are all important to the Egyptians because Osiris was killed by his brother Seth. He cut him up into pieces before hiding them in 14 different locations. Isis found the pieces and made the first Mummy. Horus was the son of the murdered Pharaoh and Hathor was the mother of the Murdered Pharaoh.

Osiris

Hathor, The goddess of love and beauty was Osiris' mother.
He was the Ancient Egyptian god of the dead .

You are correct on the following basis. It was believed that when a pharaoh died they became 'Osiris' king of the dead and that the new pharaoh became 'Horus' the god of the heavens and protector of the sun god.
The phrase, "The Living Horus" was used by Egyptian pharaohs who believed themselves to be an incarnation of the God Horus on Earth. In death, the pharaoh is associated with Osiris - god of the Underworld or Afterlife and the father of the God Horus. It is the god Osiris who grants the pharaoh everlasting life and the spirit of the deceased pharaoh is then associated with the constellation of Orion. Osiris and Horus are the same deity in different manifestations: Horus represents the sun at dawn while Osiris is the sun at sunset when it disappears below the horizon. So, Osiris dies and is resurrected: to live again as Horus. It's like when people used to say: "The King is dead! Long live the King!" The death of one pharaoh is swiftly followed by the ascension to the throne of his successor. When a pharaoh died, joining Osiris, the new pharaoh becomes the "Living Horus". Does that help?
