They aren't copied... Please don't spread miss information

While there are similarities, the Slavic is pretty unique in that the whole existance, the world and other gods are just in Svarog's dream. Also the world will end when he wakes up, unlike in Nordic myths with Ragnarok

No one copied anyone. Both mythologies are cognates of proto Indo-European mythology, that possibly goes much further back. People in ancient times liked to personify natural phenomena like Sun, Earth, stars, fire, thunder and lightning, sky, spring, summer, winter and even social processes like life, birth, death, love, laws etc. Every civilization had their myths about them.

[slavicanthropology]

Inaccuracies have been found in the following statements, specifically regarding the representation of Perun and Svarog in their respective mythologies.

The statement that both the Germanic god Thor and Perun have chariots drawn by a goat is incorrect, as Perun's chariot is explicitly drawn by horses.

Furthermore, the statement that both deities are portrayed as rugged warrior gods with red hair is not accurate, as Perun is typically depicted as having blonde hair.

Lastly, the claim that there are one-eyed kings in both mythologies is erroneous, as Svarog is described as having both his eyes in the source material, which he even demonstrates.

[supermegawaffle]

"They both have one eyed kings" proceeds to show Slavic Boi with both eyes

[RytheCodplayer]

The “sky father” deity exists in virtually every Indo-European group

[ANTSEMUT]

Bro just discovered a whole Ethnolinguistic group has similar Pantheon...

[johnchurch]

Any 2 cultures that interacted with each other as heavily as the Slavs and the Nords are going to have similarities in their mythology a prime example of this is with the Greek and Roman mythologies they were still unique unto themselves but also shared several similarities.

Misinformation here. Please do research on the subjects.

[mirkomedjedovic]

They are not same! Odin have one eye and spear Gungnir, Svarog have two eyes and hammer. Thor have hammer Mjolnir red hair and beard chariot drove by two goats, Perun have axe and have brown hair and beard, chariot drove by two horses. Norse have Heimdall, he have one face, slavs have Svetovid he have four face to watch world. They are not i love and worship all.

Germans looking at the Norse as they take Donar and make him thor

[Empriction]

The "copied" part sounds a little off.

[pinkplayer]

"Can i copy your homework, yeah but change it a bit so it can be different" vibes

[brunowillich]

Odin: No one can defy my power!
Slavic gods: OUR power!

[stefanmilenkovic]

Slavic mythology is actually older than norse mythology, read a book on it(slovenska mitologija-Nenad Gajić(writer))

[shiptardushan]

Rus (the root to Russia) is from the area Roslagen at the coast in central Sweden. Vikings from that area founded and ruled Kievan Rus, and so on.

[OnizukaAllMighty]

Slavic mythology is older than the Norse one, so saying that Slavs copied the Norse ones is just ignorant and wrong

[titan_fist]

It was rather the Scandinavians who copied Slavic mythology, and not the other way around. Since Scandinavian mythology is more fantastic, it can be said that the Scandinavians made a fairy tale out of Slavic mythology.

[illillyillyo]

Kievan Rus’ is not the same as Varangians. The Varangians occupied some of the area of Kievan Rus’ and had power over much of the Eastern European area until the Kievan Rus’ was established.

[Creterampage]

Mythologies sharing similarities is more common than you think.

Pretty much every Mesoamerican culture worshiped a Feathered Serpent Deity. The Mayans had Kukulkan, the Aztecs had Quetzalcoatl, etc. Does that mean all Mesoamerican mythologies are the same?

Japanese Mythology adopted several characters from other Asian Mythologies including Chinese, Buddhist, and Hindu. Like the goddess Benzaiten is an adaptation of the Hindu goddess Saraswati. The Kitsune is an adaptation of the Chinese mythical creature Jiu Wei Hu, there’s also the Korean version called the Kumiho.

Just because two mythologies share similarities does not mean they’re the same. This can be said for Norse and Slavic.

Also, lots of the “information” about the gods is made up. Thor isn’t the head god in Norse Mythology. Odin is. Perun is never described with having a red hair as well.
