Dyēus (DYOO-uhs)
Indo-European Deity
Dyēus
Dyēus is the Sky Father of the Proto-Indo-European pantheon, a luminous archetype that echoes across later mythologies as Zeus, Dyaus, and Jupiter. He is not merely sky, but the light of dawn, the vast vault above which watches all. He is lawgiver, truth-speaker, and guardian of oath and tribe. In the steppe traditions of the Yamnaya, his name was spoken before treaties and in funerary rites, marking him as both divine witness and celestial judge.
Yet Dyēus is not aloof—he is the warmth of the morning sun and the wisdom passed from father to child. He embodies constancy and generational responsibility. Where others rage, he steadies. Where others rule, he convenes. He speaks in thunder not to frighten, but to affirm.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
He appears as a grand elder cloaked in blue and silver, his skin sun-kissed and wind-worn. His beard is pale gold, his eyes pale as the sky before rain. Lightning dances between his fingertips, and birds gather wherever he stands.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
Dyēus loves through responsibility and reverence. He forms bonds that last across lifetimes. His passion is solar—predictable, life-giving, but capable of scorching when betrayed.
