Isis and Osiris
Book • 2013
Plutarch's 'On Isis and Osiris' is a treatise within his larger work Moralia, offering the most extensive ancient Greek analysis of the Egyptian deities Isis and Osiris.
The text recounts the myth of Osiris's murder by his brother Seth (Typhon), Isis's quest to recover and reassemble his body, and the birth and vindication of their son Horus.
Plutarch interprets the myth allegorically, discussing its philosophical and religious meanings, and compares Egyptian beliefs with Greek thought.
The work is a key source for understanding how Greek intellectuals perceived Egyptian religion and mythology.
