Isis was one of the most revered goddesses in ancient Egyptian religion, worshipped as the ideal mother, wife, and protector of nature and magic. She was the sister and wife of Osiris and the mother of Horus, playing a central role in the myth of Osiris’s death and resurrection.

Known for her magical abilities, Isis used her power to restore Osiris to life and to protect their son Horus, who later avenged his father. She was often depicted as a woman wearing a throne-shaped crown or with outstretched wings, symbolizing protection.

Over time, the worship of Isis spread beyond Egypt into Greece and Rome, where she became associated with healing, fertility, and universal motherhood.
