Isis

As an ancient Egyptian goddess she was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patron of nature and magic. As protector of the dead and goddess of children her cult was popular throughout Egypt. The worship of Isis eventually spread throughout the Greco-Roman world, continuing until the suppression of paganism in the Christian era.
