...Horus became king. Bast is goddess of cats (and I'm sure something else), Nut is the sky and Geb is the earth, and they are the parents of Osiris, Isis, Set, Nephthys, and I guess sometimes Horus. uhh that's it so far

So- (I think) Ra (sun god) was the king and Set (god of chaos) was his lieutenant, somehow Osiris (god of the dead) became king not sure but sometimes Isis (women I think?) is his wife and Horus (god of kingship his son, sometimes they are all siblings, Nephthys is the wife of Set, Set locked Osiris in a coffin and took the throne, and Isis had to free him and made him king of the dead and underworld and somehow...

So I had a random urge to brush up on my Egyptian mythology (since it is not a strongsuit) and I decided the best way to do that is by reading a children's book since I would trust Uncle Rick with my life... And it is actually working, I am fully aware this is not a completely accurate source for mythology but it does really help with having some familiarity and it's fun to read again
