Welcome to Mythology Explained. Today, we're discussing Isis.
Of all the ancient Egyptian goddesses, Isis' cult was the most widespread and the longest lasting. Such was her popularity that it far exceeded the boundaries of the ancient Egyptian empire. She was revered by both Greeks and Romans, and her influence reached all the way to Britain, where there are, purportedly, bridges adorned with her image along the River Thames. At her height during Graeco-Roman times, her popularity transcended borders, gained an international following, and later, even rivaled the popularity of the burgeoning Christian religion.
