Norse, Hindu, Egyptian, and Sumerian mythology

Sorry I've been slow with this stuff.  Here's the rest of the mythology. I'm also adding the pronunciations to the Greek post.  Let me know if I missed anything.  This is pretty basic, so if there's anything you're interested in and want to know more about please don't hesitate to ask!

  • Sumerian mythology, king of all Gods, God of Heaven
Enlil
{en-lil}
  • Sumerian God of air, replaced Anu as king of all Gods
Ea
{ey-ah}
  • Sumerian God of mesopotamian city Eridu
  • God of crafts, water, and creation
Odin
ō-den}
  • Norse king of all Gods
  • Ruler of mythological universe Asgard
  • Father of Thor

Akupara


  • A common image in Native American and Hindu mythology, Akupara is a tortoise that supports 16 white elephants that hold up the Earth.
