<div>Osiris: green-skinned god of vegetation, wheat grew from his

<div>Green Man: green man whose body has been modified to grow

<div>Osiris: killed by Typhon</div>
<div>Green Man: comes from future possible Urth, an Urth which
Severian notes will die (never come to be) if the tyrant Typhon
is victorious</div>
