I will be presenting a part of my Classics Thesis. My research is focused on comparing to mother figures, the Egyptian Goddess Isis & Virgin Mary during the Roman Empire. From this time period, there is evidence that these women became influential in similar ways because they were both connected to humanity while also being mystical and divine. Using literature and art from the Empire it is clear that they assisted humanity and became universal figures.
