Cp. Maspero, _Histoire ancienne_,4 p. 35; Ed. Meyer, _Geschichte des Alterthums_, i. §§ 55, 57. 1023 There are far more plausible grounds for identifying Osiris with the moon than with the sun—1. He was said to have lived or reigned twenty-eight years; Plutarch, _Isis et Osiris_, cc. 13, 42. This might be taken as a mythical expression for a lunar month. 2. His body was rent into fourteen pieces (_ib._ cc. 18, 42). This might be interpreted of the moon on the wane, losing a piece of itself on each of the fourteen days which make up the second half of a lunation. It is expressly mentioned that Typhon found the body of Osiris at the full moon (_ib._ 8); thus the dismemberment of the god would begin with the waning of the moon. 3. In a hymn supposed to be addressed by Isis to Osiris, it is said that Thoth “Placeth thy soul in the bark Ma-at, In that name which is thine, of GOD MOON.” And again, “Thou _who comest to us as a child each month_, We do not cease to contemplate thee, Thine emanation heightens the brilliancy Of the stars of Orion in the firmament,” etc.
