Family relations among gods are complicated by the fact that Egyptian religion accommodates many different (and sometimes contradictory) traditions based on different local myths. Thus, the jackal god Anubis is sometimes described as the son of the cow goddess Hezat, but more often as the son of the gods Osiris and Isis. Variant traditions, however, described Anubis as the son of an adulterous relationship between Osiris and Nephthys. Anubis is thus the full or half-brother of the god Horus in these traditions. As such, he is also related to the jackal god Duamutef, one of the four sons of Horus.}}</ref>{{Note|name="some"|In some accounts only.}} | |||
