Isis

Statue of the goddess Isis made of marble and probably originating from Lakonia (a region in the southeastern part of the Peloponnese peninsula). The goddess has a veil and diadem on her head and wears a chiton and a fringed himation tied in the characteristic Isis knot. Isis was a major goddess in ancient Egyptian religion whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world.Her relations with humans were based on her behavior in the myth. She was believed to help the dead enter the afterlife as she had helped Osiris, she was considered the divine mother of the pharaoh, who was likened to Horus, and her maternal aid was invoked in healing spells. Originally, she played a limited role in royal rituals and temple rites, although she was more prominent in funerary practices and magical texts.
