Key myth
In the Slavic translation of John Malalas's chronicle, the translator equates Svarog with the Greek Hephaestus and calls his son Dazhbog 'the sun'. This is the only genealogy in medieval sources.
Where sources differ or caution applies. The role of Svarog as chief god is a modern inference.
