ENT_SLAV_DAZBOG Dažbog   Slavic God Solar Deity sun; wealth; giving; solar cycle; fate       A           Solar and wealth-giving deity; named in the AD 980 Kiev Pantheon (PVL). Name from Proto-Slavic *Daž(d)ьbogъ, meaning "Give-wealth god" (*dati, to give + *bogъ, wealth/god; cognate with Iranian *baga, divine wealth). A gloss in the Hypatian Chronicle's translation of the Chronicle of Malalas calls Dažbog son of Svarog (fire deity) and identifies him with Helios — though this is a Byzantine literary equation, not necessarily indigenous theology. Dažbog may represent the sun as the dispensing agent of divine bounty. The Lay of Igor's Campaign (Slovo o polku Igoreve, 12th c.) calls the Rus people "grandsons of Dažbog." Brückner (1918) pp. 96-105; Primary Chronicle (Cross 1953) p. 93. deity
