Khors is a Slavic god of uncertain functions mentioned since the 12th century. Generally interpreted as a sun god, sometimes as a moon god. The meaning of the theonym is also unknown: most often his name has been combined with the Iranian word for sun, such as the Persian '' xoršid'', or the Ossetian ''xor'', but modern linguists strongly criticize such an etymology, and other native etymologies are proposed instead. Sources Khors is the most frequently mentioned Slavic god, after Perun. He first appears in the ''Primary Chronicle'' along with other gods to whom Vladimir the Great erected statues: The second source mentioning the god is ''The Tale of Igor's Campaign'': " Prince Vseslav was a judge for his subjects, he distributed cities among princes, but by night he ran like a wolf, from Kiev he ran to Tmutarakan, before the cock crowed, as a wolf he ran along the road of the great Khors." God is also mentioned in the apocryphal work ''Sermon and Apocalypse of the Holy A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
