Roman fresco from Pompeii shows the nymph Io (left, with golden horns) who is greeted by Isis in Egypt. The goddess was shown as the hostess, with her sacred animal – the serpent – on her lap. Io is carried by the river god, and according to Greek mythology in Egypt, she gave birth to a son from her relationship with Zeus – Epaphus – who became the king of Egypt.
