| Goddess Isis |
Goddess Isis was Egyptian goddess. In root she was possibly the prosopopoeia of the throne, considered as a (female) deity; and she admits on her head the determinant of the seat of agency. The myth tells how she sought out her good brother and husband Osiris from whom she got the
child Horus; she forgot him and mourned him unitedly with her sister Nephthys. When, later, every dead person came to be discovered with
Osiris, she became protector of the dead. As she who is rich in spells (Urthekau) she was accepted into the world of magic and sorcery. From the
Middle Kingdom forwards, her solar aspect is displayed in her epithet eye of
Ra.
Beside that, Isis was the queen of Sirius, and Greek sources (e.g. Plutarch) represented her as a moon goddess. In the Hellenistic period, Isis got frequenter of sea-farers, and was given a rudder as property. She was, with very few exclusions, portrayed in human shape; the cows horns and the sun disc she bears on her head she owes to her concretion with the figure of
Hathor.
