Aproximación a los procesos de sincretismo de las principales divinidades egipcias hacia el panteón grecorromano: estudio histórico e iconográfico
Journal Title: Alejandría - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The objective of this article is to deal with the syncretic processes that occur in the Egyptian pantheon, from its origins and the changes suffered by the original gods in the country of the Nile to that of Hellenism and the Roman world, at which time the Egyptian divinities join these companies. Thus, giving rise to a process o assimilation between the Egyptian and Greco-Roman pantheons, which is reflected both in literature and in pictorial representations. The latter implicitly carry a great iconographic load that we will analyze in a general way. To do this, we will begin by dealing with the origins of Egyptian religion and its evolution to go on to explain the syncretic processes that occur within the country itself, mainly linked to social, political, economic or cultural needs. The trade and relations between the Egyptians and the Mediterranean societies also meant the exchange of ideas, customs, religions, etc., but it was after the conquest of Alexander the Great when some pantheons began to relate to others. Thus, the syncretic processes between the Greco-Roman and Egyptian pantheons will be treated in a general way, having as key examples Isis and Serapis, Horus, Anubis and Harpocrates.
