Gods and Goddesses: A Study


The following table is a comparison from various anceint pantheons. It is my attempt to find correlations between the gods/goddess from various cultures dispite geographical location. There were many more gods and goddess in each religion and many more aspects of human life they govern. This is only a little taste of each pantheon. The actual table I created includes many more cultures, gods, and aspects.
