Spidersilk is filled with amazing
characters that make the story come to life. One such character is
the beautiful Isis, whose kidnapping plagues Mark for a good portion
of the book. There is a lot going on with the character Isis and one
of the major links you might want to look into is the connection with
the Egyptian Goddess Isis.
This goddess was seen as the patroness
of nature and magic. She was also known to listen to the prayers of
the aristocrats and wealthy, which might explain Isis' presence as
Mark's party. One of the coolest connections with the character in
Spidersilk and the goddess comes to play when Isis tells the story of
her kidnapping. Isis believes that a falcon led to her rescue from
the detox prison she was forced into. The goddess Isis was said to be
the mother of Horus, a god that appears with a falcon or hawk head.
Another great link, is Sett the kidnapper can be seen as the Egyptian
Set who murdered Isis' husband, Osiris. Isis, of course, led to the
capture of Sett in the book and the Egyptian goddess Isis resurrected
Osiris so he could fight another day. Cool, no?
