About this site
Cult of Gods maps the gods of eleven traditions as families, with sources, and compares them without forcing matches.
How we work
Every deity page names the texts the account comes from. Where a text is a late, outside or hostile witness (Snorri on Odin, Plutarch on Osiris, Helmold on the Slavs), we say so. We do not invent genealogies: if the sources do not name a parent, the page shows none, and where they disagree the page says so.
Living traditions
Hinduism, the Yoruba religion and Shinto are practised by large communities today. We describe them as traditions, not only as stories, and ask readers to treat them with respect.
Sources and pictures
Source lists are on each pantheon page. Where a link goes to a translation, it is to a public edition. Pictures are public domain or CC0 works, credited in the footer.
