Who Or What Is Isis?

Isis is an Egyptian goddess. She was one of the principal gods of ancient Egypt being the sister, and wife of Osiris and mother of Horus. She typifies the virtues of faithful wife and devoted mother.
The cow was sacred to her. She is often depicted with horns and a solar disc behind her head or with a double crown.
The chief places of worship were at Abydos, Busiris, and later at Philae.
She was worshiped in the Roman world as the nature goddess and was also identified with Juno, Aphrodite, Io and Astarte. In time she became the equivalent of the universal goddess.
The English writer John Milton places her among the fallen angels in his book Paradise Lost. The ancient writer Proclus speaks of a statue which carried her name and the inscription which translates: 'I am that which is, has been, and shall be. My veil no-one has lifted. The fruit I bore was the sun'.
This gives rise to the saying: 'To lift the veil of Isis', ie to uncover a great secret.

Isis is an Egyptian goddess who is the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus.  It is difficult to say exactly what her role is, but being a mother figure and the wife of the God of the Underworld and mother to the Sun god, she will have no doubt a very important role in Egyptian mythology.
