The subject of this chapter is four Greek hymns by Isidorus (perhaps around 100 bce) found inscribed on a gateway of the temple of the Egyptian goddess Isis-Hermouthis at Narmouthis/Medinet Madi in the Fayyum. Three of the hymns are to the goddess herself, the fourth is in praise of Amenemhat III/Porramanres, the founder of the temple. The chapter shows how four hymns mediate in different ways between a broader universalizing Greek perspective and a narrower more local Egyptian one, and it relates their specific cultural affinities to their spatial position in the temple.
