Who reassembled Osiris's body after Set scattered it?

The story behind the answer

Isis is correct: as Osiris’s devoted wife and a powerful goddess of magic and healing, she gathered his scattered body parts after Set’s murder, reassembled them, and used her spells to revive him long enough to conceive Horus. With this act, Isis restored order and paved the way for Osiris to become lord of the underworld. Though Nephthys helped in the search, it was Isis’s magical reconstitution that made rebirth possible.

This myth underpins Egyptian mummification and the hope of an afterlife: preserving the body allows the soul to return. Memory tip: Isis “assists”—I-sis sounds like “I assist”—mending Osiris. Her icons, the throne headdress and protective wings over a mummy, reinforce her role as the restorer and guardian of life.
