HEY LOOK IT'S MARS --- NOT A SEMETIC STAR
>>19984595>So it's literally just a person who dies, so all of these gods are just dead farmers or leaders or pillars of the community?Correct. All great nations (nati = of the navel or mother) start out as small farming or cowboy (like Scythians riding around) or sailor communities (greeks) and their famous legends became the "gods" (a word that once refereed to "godan" the Allfather of the Germanic peoples - specifically the Lombard tribe used the term).
This is a form of patriotism (patri = father) that combines with nationalism (mother) to unify a peoples different tribal "deities" (a Dacian word which means day as they were the first to use "deva") into one cohesive groups.
Simply put: "gods" marry to unite different farming, fishing, and even pirating villages into one greater nation. Sparta for example, came to the island as IE invader pirate types that later became a major establishment of the Greek world.
