The Departure of Isis from Byblos - A Mythical Journey of Grief and Resilience
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the ancient world of Egypt, as depicted in Lewis Spence's renowned book "The Myths of Ancient Egypt". The illustration, created by Evelyn Paul in 1917, beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Egyptian mythology - the departure of Isis from Byblos. Isis, revered as the ideal mother and wife, is seen here leaving Byblos with a heavy heart. She mourns the tragic death of her beloved husband Osiris, whose untimely demise has left her devastated. As she sets off on her journey, grief etched upon her face, Queen Astarte stands beside her offering solace and support. This scene represents not only mourning but also resilience. Despite immense sorrow and loss, Isis finds strength within herself to carry on. Her determination to honor Osiris' memory drives her forward into an uncertain future. As we gaze at this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the power that myths hold over our collective imagination. They provide us with timeless tales that explore universal themes such as love, loss, and perseverance. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection comes this remarkable piece that invites us to delve into ancient Egyptian culture and immerse ourselves in their rich mythological tapestry. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst profound grief and despair, there is always hope for renewal and transformation
