Topic Research: The Goddess Isis
I think I may want to focus on the Egyptian goddess Isis. I started at the Wikipedia page and from there I found a few stories I could use:
The first story I found was in Ovid's Metamorphoses. Isis was still worshipped in Greek mythology and makes an appearance in the stories found in Metamorphoses. This would be a good story to use because it has that crossover element I like between Greek and Egyptian mythologies.
The second story I looked at was the birth of Anubis, where the twin of Isis dresses up as her to seduce Set, and gave birth to Anubis. This is a classically dramatic story that you would expect from mythology, and I think that family dynamic would be interesting to look at.
The third story I liked was the story of Isis and Ra. She tricks him into telling her his secret name, and therefore gains power over him. I like the cleverness she exhibits in this story and would like to focus on that somehow.
