Isis ( /ˈaɪsɪs/ ; Ancient Greek : Ἶσις; original Egyptian
pronunciation more likely "Aset" or "Iset" [1] ) is a goddess
from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt . She was first
worshiped in Ancient Egyptian religion , and later her worship
spread throughout the Roman empire and the greater Greco-
Roman world . Isis is still widely worshiped by many pagans
today in diverse religious contexts; including a number of
distinct pagan religions, the modern Goddess movement , and
interfaith organizations such as the Fellowship of Isis .
Isis was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as
the patroness of nature and magic. She was the friend of
slaves, sinners, artisans and the downtrodden, but she also
listened to the prayers of the wealthy, maidens, aristocrats
and rulers. [2] Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus ,
the falcon-headed deity associated with king and kingship
(although in some traditions Horus's mother was Hathor ). Isis
is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of
children.
The name Isis means "Throne". [3] Her headdress is a throne.
As the personification of the throne, she was an important
representation of the pharaoh's power. The pharaoh was
depicted as her child, who sat on the throne she provided. Her
cult was popular throughout Egypt, but her most important
temples were at Behbeit El-Hagar in the Nile delta , and,
beginning in the reign with Nectanebo I (380–362 BCE), on
the island of Philae in Upper Egypt.
In the typical form of her myth, Isis was the first daughter of
Geb , god of the Earth, and Nut, goddess of the Sky, and she
was born on the fourth intercalary day. She married her
brother, Osiris , and she conceived Horus with him. Isis was
instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when he was
murdered by Set . Using her magical skills, she restored his
body to life after having gathered the body parts that had
been strewn about the earth by Set. [4]
This myth became very important during the Greco-Roman
period. For example it was believed that the Nile River flooded
every year because of the tears of sorrow which Isis wept for
Osiris. Osiris's death and rebirth was relived each year
through rituals. The worship of Isis eventually spread
throughout the Greco-Roman world, continuing until the
suppression of paganism in the Christian era. [5] The popular
motif of Isis suckling her son Horus, however, lived on in a
Christianized context as the popular image of Mary suckling
her infant son Jesus from the fifth century onward. [6]
