Osiris and the tale of his missing phallus

There's something really tragi-comic in the legend of Isis and her husband Osiris and his missing phallus dismembered and lost in the Nile River.
Isis, after finding the body of her dead husband, could not locate his phallus, and so drew his sperm from his spirit and inseminated herself with child, Horus.
The mysteriously lost phallus, is then revered by the Egyptians for fertilising the Nile river as it floods each year and inseminates the lands of Egypt with abundance.
Enchanting story and absolute useless info i'm peppering my blog with.
