oa Vestida con la luminosa y oscura noche del hallazgo de Osiris: algunas consideraciones sobre el manto celeste de Isis en Apul. Met. 11.3-4

The Egyptian goddess Isis is described by written sources as a powerful deity whose scope encompassed many of the most important areas of human beliefs. The image of the deity was a vehicle for transmission of the same religious messages included in religious texts. In this sense, it is of particular interest the description of the goddess appearing to Lucius in the Metamorphoses of Apuleius. The purpose of this work is to deepen the symbolism that conveys one of the most significant elements of the Isiac description, her celestial cloak, through information provided by Egyptian and Graeco-Latin sources.
