Early concept for Isis

Aset, or Iset, better known by her Greek name Isis, was an Isu who was later deified in the Egyptian pantheon. She was known to have been in possession of the Ankh and the Scepter, two artifacts of First Civilization origin.

Biography

According to legend, Isis used the Ankh to protect the Egyptian pharaohs from harm. When her partner Osiris was murdered by his brother Seth, Isis was overwhelmed by pain and grief.[1]

She then used the Ankh to revive him, but it only brought Osiris back for one night. Using the opportunity, they consummated their love that night, leading to the conception of their son, Horus.[1]

Legacy

In the 1st century BCE, a temple on the island of Pharos in Alexandria was dedicated to her.[2]
