| 2295 | Perun ENT_SLAV_PERUN | opposes | Veles ENT_SLAV_VELES | high | The central Slavic mythological narrative: Perun (thunder) battles Veles (chthonic) who steals cattle or a solar being. Veles hides below the earth, in cattle, in trees; Perun strikes him with lightning. The oath treaties (PVL AD 945, 971) invoke both together as complementary cosmic powers. Structurally cognate with Baltic Perkūnas-Velnias. Brückner (1918) pp. 67-155. | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed | Slavic Pre-Christian Period PER_SLAV_PAGAN |
| 2296 | Veles ENT_SLAV_VELES | opposed_by | Perun ENT_SLAV_PERUN | high | Veles is the chthonic antagonist of Perun in the cosmic myth; hides in the earth, cattle, and trees to escape Perun's lightning. Brückner (1918) pp. 138-155; PVL oath treaties. | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed | Slavic Pre-Christian Period PER_SLAV_PAGAN |
| 2297 | Svarog ENT_SLAV_SVAROG | parent_of | Dažbog ENT_SLAV_DAZBOG | medium | Hypatian Chronicle Malalas gloss (12th c.) states: "after [Svarog] reigned his son Dažbog" — making Dažbog the son of Svarog in the Slavic divine genealogy. Classified medium because this is a late Byzantine literary equation. Brückner (1918) pp. 85-105. | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed | Slavic Pre-Christian Period PER_SLAV_PAGAN |
| 2298 | Dažbog ENT_SLAV_DAZBOG | child_of | Svarog ENT_SLAV_SVAROG | medium | Hypatian Chronicle Malalas gloss posits Dažbog as son of Svarog. Classified medium as per Svarog-parent relationship. Brückner (1918) pp. 96-105. | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed | Slavic Pre-Christian Period PER_SLAV_PAGAN |
| 2304 | Perun ENT_SLAV_PERUN | embodies | Storm ENT_STORM | high | Perun is the divine personification of the thunderstorm; his cult is centred on lightning as a divine force striking chaos from the sky. PVL AD 980. | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed | Slavic Pre-Christian Period PER_SLAV_PAGAN |
| 2403 | Stribog ENT_SLAV_STRIBOG | aligned_with | Dažbog ENT_SLAV_DAZBOG | medium | In the Primary Chronicle's list of Vladimir I's 980 CE Kiev pantheon, Stribog and Dazbog are listed adjacently: "And Vladimir began to reign alone in Kiev, and set up idols on the hill outside the castle... Perun of wood with a head of silver and a mustache of gold, and Khors, Dazbog, Stribog, Simargl, and Mokosh" (PVL s.a. 980). The consistent co-listing of Stribog and Dazbog in both the Chronicle and (in paraphrase) in the Igor Tale suggests they function as complementary aspects of Slavic sky-force theology: Dazbog governs solar prosperity and divine bestowal of gifts (his name likely means "giving god"), while Stribog governs the wind domain (the Igor Tale's "grandsons of Stribog" phrase implies he is ancestral to the winds). Some scholars propose a semantic pairing of Dazbog/Stribog as two halves of the sky divine complex — solar wealth-giving vs. aerial wind-force. Confidence medium: the pairing is well-attested, but the exact theological relationship between the two deities is disputed; the alignment here is based on the consistent literary co-presence and complementary domain logic. Brückner (1918) s.v. "Strzybog." | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed | Slavic Pre-Christian Period PER_SLAV_PAGAN |
| 2404 | Simargl ENT_SLAV_SIMARGL | aligned_with | Perun ENT_SLAV_PERUN | low | Simargl's only unambiguous attestation is as one of the eight deities in Vladimir I's 980 CE Kiev state pantheon (Primary Chronicle s.a. 980), where he is listed among the idols erected alongside Perun, Khors, Dazbog, Stribog, and Mokosh. As Perun was the undisputed head of this pantheon (his idol had a silver head and gold mustache, superior to the others), Simargl functioned as a member of Perun's divine assembly — a guardian/protective sacred figure within the thundergod's sovereignty sphere. The alignment is primarily one of divine assembly membership rather than shared attributes; Simargl's own domains (guardian of plants and seeds per some reconstructions; winged dog-guardian per iconography) are distinct from Perun's thunder/war domain. Confidence low: the alignment is inferred from co-listing in the 980 CE pantheon, not from explicit ancient equation or shared attributes. Simargl's connection to the Iranian Senmurv/Simurgh (proposed by Rybakov and others) would provide a more illuminating long-range alignment, but the Iranian entities are not currently in the DB. | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed | Slavic Pre-Christian Period PER_SLAV_PAGAN |
| 2405 | Khors ENT_SLAV_KHORS | aligned_with | Dažbog ENT_SLAV_DAZBOG | high | Khors and Dazbog are the two solar deities of the Slavic tradition, consistently listed together in the Primary Chronicle (s.a. 980 CE: "Khors, Dazbog") and distinguished by domain: Khors (from Iranian *xvarnah- "solar radiance / divine glory" via Alanic/Sarmatian transmission) represents the sun disc as a physical/celestial entity, while Dazbog (Slavic "giving god") represents the sun in its aspect as divine bestower of prosperity and gifts to humans. The Igor Tale distinguishes them in the poetic passage "Vseslav spanned the path of great Khors" (referring to the prince's night journey faster than the sun's circuit) and the separate "the sons of Dazbog" phrase applied to the Rus' people — Khors as the disc traversing the sky, Dazbog as the divine father of the people. Their persistent co-listing in the Primary Chronicle and their complementary solar-domain theology makes their alignment the most secure relationship in the Slavic orphan cluster. | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed | Slavic Pre-Christian Period PER_SLAV_PAGAN |
| 2481 | Perun ENT_SLAV_PERUN | patron_of | Sovereignty ENT_SOVEREIGNTY | high | Perun heads the 980 CE Kievan pantheon of Vladimir (Primary Chronicle); supreme thunder-god and patron of the prince and druzhina, the sovereign deity of the East Slavs. | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed | |
| 2486 | Khors ENT_SLAV_KHORS | embodies | Sun ENT_SUN | high | Khors is a solar deity of the 980 Kiev pantheon (Primary Chronicle), likely the personified sun-disk; an Iranian-derived counterpart to Dažbog's solar power. | Nestor (trad.), Povest' Vremennykh Let (Primary Chronicle), compiled c. 1113 CE; Laurentian redaction c. 1377 CE SRC_PRIMARY_CHRONICLE_PVL | reviewed |
