Hindu Gods and Heroes Notes
- Pg 13-47
- The Vedic Age: 3000 years ago in the Aryan tribe of eastern Panjab
- Charms, magic, black magic all good ideas and used in story
- Dyausha-pita=sky god, Prithivi Mata=earth god, Vayu=wind, Parjanya=rain god, Surya= sun god, Agni=fire god
- Elements come back into play
- Dyaush-pita pretty much is Zeus
- Personal gods and nature-powers
- Indra and Asvina became worshipped because they were heroes
- ^Somewhat become gods through their legends
- Indra seems to have inherited qualities of Zeus
- would like to do a story picturing gods going away once people stop believing and new ones coming about
- Not much of a storyline, more history, facts and theory
- I can create a story mimicking the going and coming of gods using this info
