From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Temple of Isis"

Modifications:

-Include why Isis was chosen for a dedicated temple

-Include more on rituals, how Greeks worshiped Isis

-Possibly discuss why Greeks were interested in worshiping Egyptian goddess?

-Expand Artwork section

*Article isn't in terrible shape - sections need some expansion though. Maybe a bit more background knowledge of Isis.
