"Amenti is a creation of the soul of the gods, at command of Osiris, the lord of the mountain. "In other words, Amenti is that impulse roused by Ra. Every god who arrives there carries on a battle. I know the great god who dwells there.
Many temples claimed the sacred body of Osiris, ruler over departed spirits and Amenti, their dim dwelling place beyond the western desert; Philae and Memphis among others; but it was Abydos to which the Egyptians give their most reverent faith, as the true burial place of the Beloved One.
The soul, whether it was conducted to Amenti or driven into the infernal regions that is, towards the West by the dog-headed monkeys, who appear to have been a sort of dæmons charged with the carrying out of sentences, the soul was, nevertheless, not freed from all connection with the body; its relative immortality depended in some sort upon the integrity of the latter; the alteration, the deprivation of one of the limbs was supposed to be felt by the soul, the form of whose impalpable spectre would have been mutilated and could not have traversed, wanting a leg or an arm, the cycle of migrations or metempsychoses.
Isis hastened to embrace her risen and delivered husband, gave the beautiful Horus his lotus-flower again instead of the sword, and scattered fruits and flowers over the earth, while Osiris seated himself under a canopy wreathed with ivy, and received the homage of all the spirits of the earth and of the Amenti." Darius was silent.
By the lips of his own servants, I am informed that he would have put her in his harem. "She fled from him and I hid her away, for I could not bear to deliver her up to the despoiler. "I love her she loveth me. Wilt thou not give her to me to wife? "Thine illustrious sire bespeaketh thy favor, out of Amenti. Behold his signet and its injunction.
Then, by all the demons of Amenti! then, I say! look to thy crown, thou puny, puling King!" With a bound he broke through the cordon of royal guards, leaped into his chariot, and putting his horses to a gallop, drove at full speed to his place at the head of the army. There, in an instant, clear and long-drawn, his command to mount rang over the desert.
Whatever may be the etymology of the name of Osiris, it is a fact, that in the sculptures he is often represented with a spotted skin suspended near him, and Diodorus Siculus says: “That the skin is usually represented without the head; but some instances where this is introduced show it to be the leopard’s or panther’s.” Again, the name of Osiris as king of the West, of the Amenti, is always written, in hieroglyphic characters, representing a crouching leopard with an eye above it.
Charmion! thou hast much to answer, for thou hast changed the story of the world; and yet, even now I would not have it otherwise!" She paused awhile, covering her eyes with her hand; and, looking, I saw great tears upon the cheek of Charmion. "And of this Harmachis," I asked; "where is he now, O Queen?" "Where is he? In Amenti, forsooth making his peace with Isis, perchance.
Thou didst see great Cæsar in his bloody robe, and he threw his arms about the Prince Cæsarion and led him hence. Hearken now to the secret of thy vision. It was Cæsar's self thou sawest coming to thy side from Amenti in such a guise as might not be mistaken. When he embraced the child Cæsarion he did it for a sign that to him, and him alone, had passed his greatness and his love.
After the prince had clasped his father's knees and covered the hand with kisses, he obeyed the scribe's sign and went away to his mother's side. Again Hotep, compelling by his low voice, spoke to the king and the assembly listened. "The gods have not limited the darts of affliction to thee, O Son of Ptah. Rameses journeyed not alone into Amenti. He took a kingdom with him.
