Goddess Isis is one of the greatest Egyptian goddesses. She was the wife and the semi-sister of Osiris. They had a son named Horus.

Her symbols were the ankh, her wings, and her throne headdress.

It was popular in ancient Egypt that the wife could be the sister of the king because they preferred that the queen come from the royal family. The city or the town of Isis's worship was not found throughout early history. Because there were no known temples for her.

In the 30th dynasty, people worshipped Isis with her husband Osiris and her son Horus.
In the Roman age temples of Isis became more popular. One of them is known as the Temple of Philae.
