Children of the sun. The sprouts of Indo-European/European family tree
Forwarded from Αρυολογία☀️ (The Indo-Europeans)
"Sunday" is derived from the Old English Sunne ("Sunnandæg"), in the typical tradition of naming the days of the week after the Germanic Deities. The same pattern can be seen in Latin, diēs sōlis, or the Ancient Greek Hλίου ημέρα ("helíou 'eméra").
This is well known. However, what is less well known is the discrepancy between the Germanic and other Indo-European religious traditions in relation to the Sun deity. In Germanic traditions, the Sun is feminine (Old English: Sunne; Old Norse: Sól; Old High German: Sunna), whereas, in the other traditions, the Sun is personified as a male deity (Sanskrit: Suryā, सूर्य; Greek: Hēlios).
