Isis's Tenacity and Guile

When her son came to maturity Isis had to fight serious in the law-court of the gods for the prize of his fitting inheritance of the Egyptian  throne.  In  this  respect  she uncovers  her  true  nature  as  clever  of tongue and  perseverance  against  obstructions put in her way by the almost powerful gods. The Broad Hall of Geb is the scene for the litigation between Gods Horus and Seth, the  proceeding  of  which  are  saved on a papyrus dating to twentieth dynasty. An base  motif  in  the  account  is  the kinship  between  Isis  and  God Seth,  her brother. The blood-bond is, on one function,  strong  enough  to  soften  the  goddesss answer on behalf of her son. When God Isis  has  harpooned  God Seth,  who  is  in  the form of a hippopotamus, he collections to her in  the  name  of  their  blood kinship  and she  releases  the  barb  from  his  flesh. However, this is only a shortened lapse. Two episodes will exemplify how Isis, by her  cunning  and  skill  in  magic,  humiliates Seth in advance of the gods presiding at the court.
