As a huge Paul Newman fan not sure how I missed this picture. It doesn't completely stick the landing, but is a marvel nonetheless. A visually stunning* time capsule of 1970s New Orleans/America, and stark reminder of how long (and loudly) religious fascism and American capitalism have been traveling together hand in glove in the good ol' USA. Also features a particularly engaging performance from Anthony Perkins. Written by Robert Stone based on his book, A HALL OF MIRRORS, which I am looking very forward to reading.
*Sincerely beautiful cinematography in this picture and some of the most interesting deployments of a split diopter I've ever seen.

Do you think Isis also has a greek-roman counterpart like the Greek gods have their Roman counterparts, or she's just the same Isis for everyone?
Funny you should ask! Because Isis *is* her Greek name. There's several other names she was known by, Wosa/Wusa being one of them. Like many Egyptian Gods her mythos is *old*, even though she's one of the later appearing one. It's still got a solid 4k+ years of history, giving her a lot of "counterparts".
Isis has been previously equated and/or associated with a variety of Greek Gods as well. Demeter, Aphrodite, and even Io (a mortal) were all associated or equated with her. Additionally, Artemis (both associated with protecting women and fertility) and Tyche for the good fortune she brings. She had specific associations in Geco-Roman periods different from her Egyptian periods. In her Egyptian worship she had many different periods of worship, with it varying by the time period.
So yes I imagine that there is a Greco-Roman counterpart/aspect of her, certainly one that was worshiped distinctly. I imagine many can worship her under many of her Egyptian aspects separately as well if they so chose. Whether it all be one being? I'm afraid I'm not educated enough on her to give a solid idea of it. But I imagine so, just a bit extra.
