Engelsman 72: "One unique aspect of Isis [...] is her ability to overcome fate. To this capacity some attribute here great popularity. Not only does Isis say in the aretalogy that she overcomes fate and that fate harkens to her, it is said of her by others. Thus the priests of Isis say that 'Fortune has no power over those who have devoted themselves to serve the majesty of our goddess.' [...] In a period of upheaval and anxiety, this quality would have seemed almost more desirable than any other."
