Seth began his reign of evil by attacking, murdering, and dismembering his brother Osiris. Osiris was recovered and returned to life by the combined efforts of several of his fellow gods, and Seth fell from the good graces of his fellow Heliopolitans. Eventually, Seth warred with Horus , a battle that cost him his right hand.
