The most revered god in the Baltic religion after Dievas was Perkūnas, the depicts the thunder god. He is described as the deity of the sky, thunder, lightning, storms, rain, fire, war, law, order, fertility, mountains, and oak trees in both Lithuanian and Latvian mythology. The majority of the knowledge we have about Perkūnas comes from traditional songs, mythology, and fairy tales. They only depict a small portion of the entire mythology because the majority were only amassed in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The God of Lightning, Thunder, and Storms is Perkūnas. Whereas Potrimpo is associated with the seas, ground, crops, and cereals, and Velnias/Patulas is associated with hell and death, Perkūnas, represents the creative powers, including growth, boldness, triumph, the top of the globe, the sky, rain, thunder, and celestial elements. Perkūnas, a celestial or atmospheric divinity, is ostensibly aide of Dievas and enforcer of his will. Nonetheless, because he can really be seen and has clearly defined mythical roles, Perkūnas, frequently surpasses Dievas, Deus Otiosus. Pērkons and Dievs roles occasionally overlap in the Latvian Dainas. Perkūnas is depicted as a middle-aged man, wielding an axe and arrows, and driving a two-wheeled chariot pulled by goats, much like Celtic Taranis or Thor. Some versions depict the thunder deity atop a fiery horse or guiding a blazing chariot drawn by quick horses across the skies.
