PRUSSIA MYTHOLOGY •
The Teutonic Order, a crusading military order, began the Prussian Crusade in the 1220s. Their goal was to conquer and convert pagan Prussians to Christianity. The Knights built log and stone fortresses, which proved to be impregnable to the Prussians. Despite five Prussian uprisings, the conquest of Prussia was complete by the 1280s. German, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Polish colonists repopulated the decimated region. It is estimated that by around year 1400 the Prussians numbered 100,000 and comprised about half of the total population in Prussia. The Prussians were subject to Germanization and assimilation and eventually became extinct sometime after the 16th century. The Knights regarded paganism as evil, worthy of complete eradication and not study. Therefore they showed no interest in local customs and produced no detailed accounts of Prussian mythology. Bits of Prussian gods and traditions can be found in Teutonic documents.

INCA MYTHOLOGY •
Inca mythology is the universe of legends and collective memory of the Inca civilization, which took place in the current territories of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina, incorporating in the first instance, systematically, the territories of the central highlands of Peru to the north.

The identity of the Quechua peoples in Peru and Bolivia; and the Quichuas (Kichwa) in Ecuador; they share this spatial and religious perception that unites them through their most significant deity: the god Inti

INTI •
Sun God
Inti is the ancient Inca sun god. He is revered as the national patron of the Inca state. Although most consider Inti the sun god, he is more appropriately viewed as a cluster of solar aspects, since the Inca divided his identity according to the stages of the sun. Worshiped as a patron deity of the Inca Empire,Pachacuti is often linked to the origin and expansion of the Inca Sun Cult. The most common belief was that Inti was born of Viracocha, who had many titles, chief among them being the God of Creation.

PELIOS •
Born from the union of Life and the Moon
His very first cries sang out as a tune
Tearful and painful, his sorrow rang out
And the very next moment, a screaming shout
The young god grew older, and his power developed
In anger and sadness, the world was enveloped
The regal gods began to feel their hearts stirring
and despised him when their judgement was blurring
When Pelios was melancholy, all the people stooped
When Pelios was lonely, all the people grouped
When Pelios was fearful, every god would cower
When Pelios was disgusted, every god would glower
When Pelios was vengeful, all the people fought
When Pelios was thoughtful, all the people thought
When Pelios was content, every god would rest
When Pelios was grateful, every god was blessed
Unable to resist his fluttering emotions
The god began to believe the hateful notions
Loathing himself, off cowered the young boy
And the world forgot that he first brought us joy.
