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
2300 Perun ENT_SLAV_PERUN aligned_with Perkūnas ENT_BALT_PERKUNAS high Perun and Perkūnas are cognate thunder deities: same PIE *perkʷ- root, same cosmic myth structure (vs. Veles/Velnias), same oak cult, same role as divine guarantor of oaths. The Slavic-Baltic parallel is one of the most secure in Indo-European comparative mythology. Greimas (1992) pp. 77-84; Brückner (1918) pp. 67-80.

2302 Perun ENT_SLAV_PERUN aligned_with Thor ENT_NOR_THOR high Perun and Thor are typologically parallel thunder deities: both wield the thunder weapon against a chaos serpent/giant, both protect cosmic order, both are oak-associated. The structural parallel (not etymological — different PIE roots) is well established in IE comparative mythology. Brückner (1918) pp. 67-80.

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.

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
