	Nephthys was the youngest daughter of [[Nut]] and [[Geb]], making her the sister of [[Osiris]], [[Isis]] and [[Set]].

Nephthys was the youngest daughter of [[Nut]] and [[Geb]], making her the sister of [[Osiris]], [[Isis]] and [[Set]] and part of the [[Ennead]] of [[Heliopolis]]. She was also widely considered to be the wife of [[Set]] and mother of [[Anubis]].

	Many legends say that the father of [[Anubis]] was actually [[Osiris]], whom Nephthys seduced in secret by disguising herself as [[Isis]], as she grew tired of bearing no child through [[Set]]. Some sources even go on to say that Nephthys and [[Set]] abandoned [[Anubis]] after seeing that he bore compassionate tendencies rather than chaotic ones. Others also suggest that her affair was one of the reasons why [[Set]] wished to kill [[Osiris]].
