Svarog

Svarog (Old Church Slavonic:Сваро́гъ, Russian:Сварог, Polish:Swaróg, Serbian:Сварог, Ukrainian:Сварог) is a Slavic deity known primarily from the Hypatian Codex, a Slavic translation of the Chronicle of John Malalas. Svarog is there identified with Hephaestus, the god of the blacksmith in ancient Greek religion, and as the father of Dažbog, a Slavic solar deity. On the basis of this text, some researchers conclude that Svarog is the Slavic god of celestial fire and of blacksmithing.
