What is an interesting fact about Isis, one of the goddesses of Egypt?

Question

I have to know as much as possible about Isis because of a stupid school project...TT-TT

Answer 1

First school projects are not stupid. if not for this one would you still want to learn about a great goddess like Isis?

Anyways heres some stuff about Iisis
Not only is she the wife of the god Osiris, but she is his sister too. She is the mother of Horus, and possibaly the mother of Anubis. Her son Horus battled against Set who killed Osiris,
and Isis brought Osiris back. theres alot more to that story,
Just look up ancient Egyption Gods and goddeses, and be amazed at what you find.

Answer 2

Isis was the female counterpart of Osiris. She corresponds to Mary in Christianity, and also to the Church, the Bride of Christ.

In the Phrygian religion, she morphed into Cybele, while Attis was the crucified Christ-figure. But Cybele wasn't a sweet kid like Mary; Cybele was cruel.

All these faiths derive their major elements from the very ancient predecessor, the religion of the Nile.

When Christians today sing "O for a thousand tongues ..." they probably don't want to know this, but it's a fact that it's a hymn to Isis.

Answer 3

She was one of the nine gods in the Heliopolitan religion. She had 3 brothers: Osiris, Seth and Nephtis. Osiris was also her husband and they both had a son, Horus. She is the godes who protects the people's souls in this life and in the after life and she also is an important character in many Egyptian legends like the legend of Osiris. The Egyptians believed that the gods are watching from the sky, and that they are the stars and planets. Isis was associated with Sirius A, Horus with Sirius B and Osiris with Orion.
And...I'm not very sure but I think her parent were the gods Nut and Geb (the godes of the sky and the god of earth).

Answer 4

this was too easy to copy and paste. you could have done it if you werent so lazy. was your mother busy?

Isis is a goddess in Egyptian mythology. She was most prominent mythologically as the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus, and was worshipped as the archetypical wife and mother.

Her name literally means (female) of throne, i.e. Queen of the throne, which was portrayed by the emblem worn on her head, that of a throne. However, the hieroglyph of her name originally meant (female) of flesh, i.e. mortal, and she may simply have represented deified, historical queens.

Her origins are uncertain but are believed to have come from the Nile Delta; however, unlike other Egyptian deities, she did not have a centralised cult at any point throughout her worship. First mentions of Isis date back to the Fifth dynasty of Egypt which is when the first literary inscriptions are found, but her cult became prominent late in Egyptian history, when it began to absorb the cults of many other goddesses. It eventually spread outside Egypt throughout the Middle East and Europe, with temples dedicated to her built as far away as the British Isles. Pockets of her worship remained in Christian Europe as late as the 6th century.
