- Isis
Meaning
The Dionysian invitation at XLII.9 imagines the god beside his mother, the august black-robed goddess Isis. The local line explicitly names her in that maternal relation. It need not be harmonized by replacing her with another mother named in a different hymn, nor does it provide a complete genealogy for all Dionysian titles.
