Description
First published in 1997, R. E. Witt's Isis in the Ancient World is a seminal study that explores the far-reaching influence of the Egyptian goddess Isis on Graeco-Roman and early Christian culture.
The worship of Isis dates back to around 2500 B.C. and continued to be significant throughout the Roman world until at least the fifth century A.D. Witt's book sheds light on the cult's complex and widespread impact, from its presence in distant regions such as Afghanistan and Portugal to its influence on art and literature.
This paperback edition of Isis in the Ancient World offers a fascinating insight into the enduring legacy of one of ancient Egypt's most revered deities.
