Svarog is a Slavic deity (...) identified with Hephaestus, the god of the
|
|
|
10 |
blacksmith in ancient Greek religion (...), some researchers conclude that
|
|
|
11 |
Svarog is the Slavic god of celestial fire and of blacksmithing.

The only mention of Svarog comes from the Hypatian Codex, a 15th-century
|
|
|
14 |
compilation of several much older documents from the Ipatiev Monastery in
|
|
|
15 |
Russia. (...) The complete passage, reconstructed from several manuscripts,
|
|
|
16 |
translates as follows:
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
"(Then) began his reign Feosta (Hephaestus), whom the Egyptians called Svarog
|
|
|
19 |
... during his rule, from the heavens fell the smith's prongs and weapons
|
|
|
20 |
were forged for the first time; before that, (people) fought with clubs and
|
|
|
21 |
stones."
