ENT_SLAV_KHORS Khors   Slavic Solar deity Solar Deity sun; solar cycle; Iranian solar tradition       B           Solar deity; named in the AD 980 Kiev Pantheon (PVL) alongside Dažbog, suggesting two distinct solar deities or aspects. Name from Old Iranian *Hvar (sun; cf. Avestan xvəng, Iranian Hurshid / Khorshid). Khors is widely held to be an Iranian-derived deity, introduced into the Rus pantheon through Alanic or Iranian contact in the Pontic steppe. His presence alongside Dažbog suggests the Kievan pantheon incorporated deities from multiple ethnic backgrounds. The Lay of Igor's Campaign (12th c.) references "the great Khors." Brückner (1918) pp. 120-125; Primary Chronicle (Cross 1953) p. 93. deity
