A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Two thousand years ago the Roman world was weary, full of perplexities, tired of luxurious life, sceptical, bitter. And then from mysterious Egypt came the bright goddess I sis, offering solace to the rich ennuye, promise of future happiness to the beggar and the slave. All over the Empire were built temples to I sis the Great, Mother of the Gods, Ruler of the Heavens, of the Earth, and of the World below, temples with their prophets, stolists, and pastophori, their long-robed priestesses, their statues of the goddess bearing the sistrum and the cross of life, or holding the infant Horus in her lap. What was the reason of this extraordinary spread of an exotic religion? Plutarch gives it to us. It is that all beings must be aroused and liberated from the moral and physical state of torpor into which they are ever liable to fall. This liberation, this exaltation, the Roman found in the Iseum after he had ceased to find it in the temples of his own gods.
