One of the main gods of Slavic mythology was Dazhbog, also known as Daždźboh or Dazhboh. He was presumably a solar deity and perhaps a cultural hero. Several medieval texts describe him as one of several genuine Slavic gods, and he is among the few that all Slavic tribes have proof of worshiping. One of the seven gods whose statues Prince Volodymyr the Great built in front of his palace in Kyiv in 980, when he came to the throne, is Dazhbog, according to the Primary Chronicle, a history of early Kyivan Rus. The Hypatian Codex, a 15th-century compilation of numerous far older writings from the Russian Ipatiev Monastery, has the most fascinating section about Dazhbog. This is a Slavic translation of a sixth-century Greek manuscript written by Malalin. The gods Hephaestus and Helios are named in the Greek text. The Moon is a male deity and the Sun is a female deity, Saule, in Baltic mythology, which is most similar to Slavic mythology. Similar patterns may be found in the folklore of many Slavic countries, where the Moon is typically associated with a husband or father and the Sun with a mother, with the stars representing their offspring. This makes Dazhbog an extremely noteworthy potential masculine solar deity in the Slavic pantheon. Dazhbog is also thought by many mythologists to be identical to Khors, another East Slavic god who may have solar aspects. According to the Primary Chronicle passage, Khors Dazhbog can be a sign of a compound deity. It is also assumed that this god had two names: Dazhbog is a Slavic one, and Khors is an Iranian, probably Sarmatian or Scythian origin.
