Vol. II · The History of God
Polytheism
c. 3000 BCE – 600 CE (and continuing in living traditions)
Many gods, each a specialist.
When humans organized into city-states and empires, the spirit world organized too. Storm gods. Sun gods. Death gods. Tricksters. Mothers. Each domain mapped to a face and a name — and each pantheon, from Sumer to Olympus to Tenochtitlan, is humanity's attempt to give the divine a workable bureaucracy.
962 named figures across the great pantheons — Greek, Egyptian, Norse, Vedic, Mesopotamian, Yoruba, Aztec, Mayan, Polynesian, Native American, and more.
