== Family == [[File:Nephthis and Seth-E 3374-IMG 8007-gradient.jpg|thumb|275px|Set and Nephthys, 1279β1213 BCE, stone, [[Louvre]]|left]] Set is the son of Geb, the Earth, and [[Nut (goddess)|Nut]], the Sky; his siblings are [[Osiris]], [[Isis]], and [[Nephthys]]. He married Nephthys and had had relationships with the foreign goddesses [[Anat]] and [[Astarte]] in some accounts.
