Título:
Isis, Egyptian Goddess of Fertility
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Escultura de terracota de Isis con cola de serpiente, Egipto, siglo II d. C. Isis es una diosa de las creencias religiosas del Antiguo Egipto, cuyo culto se extendió por todo el mundo grecorromano. Era venerada como la madre y esposa ideal, así como la patrona de la naturaleza y la magia. Era amiga de esclavos, pecadores, artesanos y oprimidos, y escuchaba las oraciones de los ricos, doncellas, aristócratas y gobernantes. Isis también es conocida como protectora de los muertos y diosa de los niños. Isis era una diosa de la fertilidad, hermana y esposa de Osiris, madre de Horus, hermana de Set y Neftis, e hija de Geb y Nut. Buscó el cuerpo de su marido, recuperó y volvió a ensamblar a Osiris, asumiendo el papel de diosa de los muertos. A veces se la equiparaba con la diosa serpiente Renenutet, diosa de la cosecha.
