At Pompeii, Isis clearly is represented as the more prominent divinity. Possibly the major cult statues were of Isis and Serapis, but of these, only the head belonging to what may be the cult statue of Isis has survived. One can easily find Isis in the temple. Along the prominent arched wall of the west portico on the extreme left, we find a statue of Aphrodite Anadyomene. The statue evidently represents the interpretatio graeca of Isis, whereas Isis with the ankh on the extreme right seems to be an archaizing Hellenistic form of the goddess.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.
to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:
kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him
