ISIS RELIEF
temple of Isis, Philae, Egypt 345, B. C. The name
Isis means "seat" or "throne". She was regarded as the symbolical
mother of the King. In myth, she sought her dead husband and brother,
Osiris, conceived her son Horus by him, buried and mourned him together with her sister Nephtys.
Isis was regarded as the "Eye of Ra" and was worshipped as the "Great of Magic" who had protected her son Horus from
snakes, predators and other dangers: thus she would protect
mortal children also. The ancient Egyptians regarded the Goddess as the
"Eye of Ra". Here she carries the ankh and the papyrus sceptre of Goddesses; the horns and sun
disk of Hathor and the hieroglyph for the name Isis on top of the sun-disk. She wears a feather dress and a headdress
composed of a vulture, showing that she was identified with Mut.
