Thoth stands up anyway.
"Isis...she was, in her days at the court....manipulative. Vindictive. Scheming. Brash. She was a mortal in the court of gods, and though I do not care either way, Ra saw her as a threat, mainly, but also a fool. An upstart.
But she had the patronage of Bes, and though he could risk enraging Bes, enraging Sobek, his friend, was not an option. So Isis was free to do what she wished. Do not get me wrong, earth-children, she was neither truly evil nor good; she had her good qualities. She cared for the children on the streets, cast out by the world. She was, in her nicer moments, a motherly woman; the side of her you see now. She protected the weak who did not have anyone else to protect them.
This was the reason she was entrusted with Horus, of course. But, I digress, do I not?
So, Isis had done her first wrong, in Ra's eyes, by simply being there. A mortal in the land of gods, Ra hated her. She wanted her to leave, die, go, but Bes placated him and told him he would put up with her or he would leave. Of course, he did not leave the issue there.
Secondly was her attempt to acquire the true name of Ra. As I said, she was always scheming, always against Ra. She succeeded, one day, by allowing him to be bitten by a snake, the venom of which would put the immortal in such horrible agony as to be paralysing. She concocted a cure, and demanded it in exchange for Ra's true name. Why would he refuse?
After that, of course, their relationship worsened, and Ra and Isis plotted and schemed against each other. Horus was always a good influence upon her, and indeed, as her days flew by, Isis became less horrible...as you earth-children would say, less bitchy, and more as you see her, a truly motherly, caring person.
However..."
Thoth looks around, hoping that Ra did not have eyes here.
