La gens isiaque de retour au pays / Understanding Egypt in Egypt and beyond / Culte d'Isis ou religion isiaque? / How do you want your goddess? : From the Galjub Hoard to a general vision on religious choice in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt / Alexandria in Aegypto : the use and meaning of Egyptian elements in Hellenistic and Roman Alexandria / Referencing Isis in tombs in Graeco-Roman Egypt : tradition and innovation / Les formes d'Isis à Karnak à travers la prosopographie sacerdotale de l'époque Ptolémaïque / Isis in Roman Dakleh : goddess of the village, the province, and the country / Mythologie grecque ou mystère d'Isis-Déméter? / Les isiaques et la petite plastique dans l'Égypte hellénistique et romaine / Anubis mit dem Schlüssel in der kaiserzeitlichen Grabkunst Ägyptens / Couronner Souchos pour fêter le retour de la crue / Michel Malaise -- Miguel John Versluys -- Françoise Dunand -- Frederick G. Naerebout -- Kyriakos Savvopoulos -- Marjorie S. Venit -- Laurent Coulon -- Olaf E. Kaper -- Angelo Geissen -- Pascale Ballet et Geneviève Galliano -- Youri Volokhine -- Pierre P. Koemoth.
The diffusion of the cults of Isis is recently again intensively studied. Research on this fascinating phenomenon has traditionally been characterised by its focus on L'egypte hors d'egypte, while developments in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt itself were often seen as belonging to a different domain. This volume tries to overcome that unhealthy dichotomy by studying the cults of Isis in Hellenistic and Roman Egypt itself in relation to developments in the Mediterranean at large. The book not only presents an overview of the most important deities, often based on new or unpublished material, but also pays ample attention to the cultural processes behind Isis on Nile, like relations between style and identity, religious choice, social- and cultural memory and Egypt's view of its own past.
In English, French, and German.
