The Book of Genesis

[abaris]

Did you ever wondered why Zeus/Theos became Deus, then Dieu, Dio,... while Wotan became God, Gott, God,...? Did you ever consider they might have been monotheists, but with a different perspective? Did you ever raise any question at all on any ancient text?

And did you ever wonder why Hel became Hell, or why we have Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Similar names in german, by the way.

It all boils down to our origins and as our peoples drifted apart, we took elements from Norsk as well as Roman mythology with us. Thursday, of course, is named after Thor, Friday after Frigg, Saturday after Saturn and Sunday after the sun or more probably Sol Invictus. Hell, of course after the goddess Hel and her domain, which was a simple underworld originally.
