File:The Sky Father Dyeus (Indo European Religion Lectures -2)

Indo-European religion pays special attention, respect and public worship to the Sky Father, the Proto-Indo-European god Dyeus. In this video I will present and study the original Indo-European myth and etymology of the Sky Father in Greek religion, Roman mythology and Vedic religion and Baltic myth—from Zeus to Dyaus through Iuppiter or Dievs. Associated with the diurnal sky, Dyeus was seen as the sovereign god in some Indo-European populations, according to Georges Dumézil trifunctional hypothesis. Learn more about the one of the most famous and powerful god across European Paganism and the Pagan mythology of the Indo-Europeans in ancient history.
