Isis was the mother of Horus, and the spiritual mother of every Pharaoh. In the Late and Graeco-Roman period Isis is often portrayed suckling the infant Horus.
The hieraglyph for Isis is a throne. She is ofen depicted with a throne on her head or a solar disc with cow's horns.
Isis is sometimes dipicted with large sheltering wings.
Her main cult was at Philae.
She was closely associated with magic. Isis could heal and assume any form she chose, which came in handy when she was searching for the body of Osirus.
Two other important aspects of Isis were "Great White Sow of Heliopolis" and the Isis-cow which gave birth to the sacred Apis Bull of Memphis.
