#serapis deity

He remains devoted to his wife and has never been involved in any kidnapping drama. One of my favorite images of Sarapis shows him and Isis deeply immersed in a kiss.(x) The only "issue" is that he and Isis might be siblings. Osiris is well-known to be Isis's brother, but the details regarding Sarapis are rather vague. (Maybe I just missed it, I can't remember any sources about it.)

The other one of my favorite(X), Helios embrace Sarapis and kiss him passionately,while Sarapis seems quite nervous.🤣 An interesting related story is as below:

There was a tiny window so orientated toward the direction of sunrise that on the day appointed for the statue of the sun to be carried in to greet Serapis, careful observation of the seasons had ensured that as the statue was entering, a ray of sunlight coming through this window would light up the mouth and lips of Serapis, so that to the people looking on it would seem as though the sun was greeting Serapis with a kiss.(X)

Many Greek/Roman authors identify Sarapis with Plouton or Hades, but also Zeus, Dionysus, Asclepius and others. I am not suggesting that image of Sarapis should not be called Hades, but it's important to recognize both their similarities and differences.
