Lucius’ prayer and Isis’ response effectively characterize Isis as an omnipotent being. While Isis is clearly the name of this specific being, Lucius’ prayer indicates that she takes several different forms, each of which is well known as an individual god. Isis confirms this in her response, stating that her power is worshipped “under an abundance of images, a variety of rituals, and an array of names.” She continues by explaining different nations refer to her as different deities, but the Ethiopians, Egyptians, and Africans know her as her true form; Isis. Isis tells Lucius to join the parade that celebrates her own power, find the priest carrying roses and nip off some roses. As a result, he will shed the appearance of a donkey. Further reasserting her power, Isis tells Lucien that after all of this takes place, he should expect to be eternally indebted to her as his redeemer. Lucien will benefit from all of this however, as Isis will oversee his now blessed and illustrious life. In addition, she will require praise from him in the underworld after his death, but if he praises and follows her diligently, she may grant him a “term of life beyond what your fate decrees.” There are definitely some similarities between Isis and Jesus when comparing the passages. Both share the characteristic of omnipotence, or being infinitely powerful. Both followers of Isis and Jesus praise and obey them in exchange for the privilege of eternal life. One can understand the rivalry between followers of Isis and Jesus due to their similarities. Both deities require a lifelong commitment and expect to be regarded as the one true, omnipotent being.
