Mythology & Folklore

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. Osiris, Horus, and Isis

The first topic I am interested in is Goddesses. I'm very interested in female based stories and I love that women are so prevalent in creation stories and in almost every religion. I have previous knowledge of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian goddesses, but I would like to learn about more cultures. I am interested in the idea of bringing goddesses from different cultures together into a story. One specific story that interested me was  The Journey of Isis . Another topic that caught my eye was Mermaids. Maybe eventually I'll narrow that down to sirens, but for now I think the broader topic is better. I liked  The Mermaid Wife  a lot. I think I would either do a gender flip or a retelling from the mermaids point of view. Women of Camelot also seemed interesting to me. I love stories about strong women, and female nights defiantly satisfy that interest. I liked the stories about Britomart, especially  A Wicked Enchanter . I think I would do continuations of these stori...
