Classwork# 2 The Old Kingdom

She was originally associated with the throne of Egypt,which contained magical power because it could turn a prince into a king.
Isis was initially an obscure goddess who lacked her own dedicated temples, but she grew in importance as the dynastic age progressed, until she became one of the most important deities of ancient Egypt.
She was the sister and wife of Osiris, and after his death, she became the protector of the dead. In her love and devotion to Osiris, Isis became a symbol of the Loving wife while after his death she became a symbol of the Mother in her protection and her devotion to her son, Horus
Her cult subsequently spread throughout the Roman Empire, and Isis was worshipped from England to Afghanistan. She is still revered by pagans today.
Isis had strong links with Egyptian kingship, and she was most often represented as a beautiful woman wearing a sheath dress and either the hieroglyphic sign of the throne or a solar disk and cow’s horns on her head.
Occasionally she was represented as a scorpion, a bird, a sow, or a cow.
