1456 Osiris ENT_EGY_OSIRIS received_as Serapis ENT_SYN_SERAPIS high Serapis was deliberately created by Ptolemy I Soter (c. 286 BCE) as a syncretic fusion of Osiris and the Apis bull, supplemented with Greek attributes of Zeus, Hades, and Asclepius, to serve as a deity unifying Greek and Egyptian subjects of the new kingdom. Plutarch (De Is. ch. 28) documents the Ptolemaic invention; Tacitus (Histories 4.83) records the oracle that directed the creation. The Osirian element — resurrection, afterlife sovereignty, identification with the dead Pharaoh — is the primary Egyptian contribution to the Serapic complex.
