Enäron
From Almeopedia
|
In Caďinorian mythology, Enäron (Caď. Endauron) is the ruler of all gods, god of air, weather, the sky, wielder of thunder and storm; special protector of kings and fathers, similar to Greek Zeus. He is also the god of judgment, both earthly and heavenly. In the oldest myths he is also the creator of the Universe. His worshippers say he is strong, fearsome and always just. In art he is usually shown as a white-bearded robust man. His wife is Išira.
His attendants are Rafát and Guríš (Justice and Wrath); his messenger is Vereon, and his cupbearer Kutro. He is also attended by the Four Winds, by Thunder, Rain, and Snow, and by Onoale (Rainbow), personified as a gloriously beautiful maiden in multicolored raiment.
His name can be traced back to proto-Eastern *Endānor, which means perhaps 'first elder'. The same etymology underlines also Ax. Inbamu, Obenzayet Ädänä, Cuêzi Eīledan and Ša Danin. This name is probably more than two thousand years older than the first accounts of the Cadhinorian religion, written by Beretos.
