Greek Gods in Roman Egypt

Ptolemaic rule and the influx of Greeks fostered the growth of Greek gods in Egypt. By the Roman period, the Olympian gods were firmly established there. The ready identification of certain Greek and Egyptian deities (for example, Aphrodite and Demeter with Isis, and Eros with Harpocrates/Horus) facilitated their acceptance. Greek gods were never "Egyptianized": they were always represented in their true Classical guise.
