Isis is a major goddess in the ancient Egyptian religion whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world . Isis was first mentioned in the ancient kingdom of Egypt (2686-2181 BC) as one of the main characters in the Osiris myth , as she resurrected her husband, the slain divine king Osiris , and gave birth to his heir HorusAnd she protected him. Isis was believed to guide the dead to the afterlife, as she helped Osiris, and she was considered the divine mother of the Pharaoh as he was likened to her son Horus. Her maternal aid consisted in a healing spell to aid the common people. Originally, Isis played a small role in royal hymns and in temple rituals and rituals, but was more important in burial rites and magical texts. In art, she was often represented as a female human wearing a kind of throne on her head. During the New Kingdom , the characteristics of Hathor - the former prominent goddess - took on the form of Isis, who wore the clothes of Hathor, and on her head the sun disk between the horns of a cow, as Hathor was previously represented.

In the first millennium BC, Isis and Osiris became the most worshiped Egyptian deities, and Isis absorbed many of the features of other deities. The rulers of Egypt and the rulers of its neighbors south in Nubia began building temples dedicated to Isis, and her temple at Philae was one of the most important religious centers for Egyptians and Nubians alike. Isis's magical powers were stronger than all the other gods, and it was said that she protected the kingdom from its enemies, to rule the heavens and the natural world, and to rule over the same destiny.

In the Hellenistic period (323-30 BC), when the Greeks ruled Egypt , Isis became worshiped by the Egyptians and Greeks, as well as a new deity named Serapis . Their worship spread to the wider Mediterranean world . The Greeks bestowed on Isis some of the characteristics of the Greek deities, such as the invention of marriage and the protection of ships at sea, and it maintained strong ties between Egypt and other Egyptian deities that spread in the Hellenistic era, such as Osiris and Harpocrates. With the absorption of Hellenistic culture by Rome in the 1st century BC, the cult of Isis became part of the Roman religion. Although her servants were a small part of the Roman EmpireHowever, they were scattered all over it. Its followers began to develop some festivals such as the "Isis Pass" festival, in addition to some new celebrations that were similar to the mysteries of the Greco-Roman religions. Some followers said that it included all the powers of the female deities in the world.

The cult of Isis ended with the spread of Christianity in the fourth and fifth centuries AD. Her worship influenced Christian beliefs and practices such as the veneration of Mary, but the evidence for this influence remains vague and there is much disagreement over her. Isis continued to appear in Western culture, especially in Western esoteric teachings and in neo-paganism, often as a personification of nature or the feminine aspect of divinity.

Isis (Ancient Egyptian: ꜣst; Coptic: Ⲏⲥⲉ Ēse; Classical Greek: Ἶσις Isis; Meroitic: 𐦥𐦣𐦯 Wos[a] or Wusa) was a major goddess in ancient Egyptian religion whose worship spread throughout the Greco-Roman world. Isis was first mentioned in the Old Kingdom (c. 2686–2181 BCE) as one of the main characters of the Osiris myth, in which she resurrects her slain husband, the divine king Osiris, and produces and protects his heir, Horus. She was believed to help the dead enter the afterlife as she had helped Osiris, and she was considered the divine mother of the pharaoh, who was likened to Horus. Her maternal aid was invoked in healing spells to benefit ordinary people. Originally, she played a limited role in royal rituals and temple rites, although she was more prominent in funerary practices and magical texts. She was usually portrayed in art as a human woman wearing a throne-like hieroglyph on her head. During the New Kingdom (c. 1550–1070 BCE), as she took on traits that originally belonged to Hathor, the preeminent goddess of earlier times, Isis was portrayed wearing Hathor's headdress: a sun disk between the horns of a cow.
