Exploring a Mythology You’ve Never Heard of

[@thebordoshow]

Great video, I'm very happy to see people getting interested with Georgian and Caucasian mythology. I'll give some friendly corrections because a lot of sources online both in English and in Georgian have some details wrong. 1. Paskunji is a gryphon, not a giant bird, thats another creature called Kapunia and has more in common with the Roc. We have gryphons depicted all throughout Kartvelian history and its always half bird half lion. 2. Kudiani can also shapeshift into animals, thats where the tail comes in. this is also super ancient tradition, you can see the tailed creatures on Trialeti silver cup late bronze age artifact. 3. Daeva are Zoroastrian Demons, yes Zoroastianism was practiced in Georgia too, but our version is Dev-Kerpi or Falce Idols, they were Tyrant falce gods that dominated over humanity until godsons banished them to the underworld. they are the ancestors to the Devi ogres. 4. no notes. maybe show Caucasian shepherds to see what average Georgian dog looks like. 5. Ali are water spirits, like Rusalka of Russian folklore and are more in common with Elves of Germanic folklore, who are beautiful playful beings who can curse you just for fun. 6. Georgian dragons are complicated. Gveleshapi are river dragons and Veshap are lake and sea leviathans. Snakes can turn into dragons by the use of magic purls and are house protectors if not angered. they often hold dominion over water and demand sacrifice for rain. There are Dragonstone menhirs all over Caucasus. 7. Devi are just lesser Devkerpi, who are very diverse in appearance, the number of limbs, heads and eyes very, head can be 1 to 1000, eyes even more. they ether live with their Mothers or alone, usually Females are smarter and in charge. 8. Amirani myth is almost completely wrong, but this is not your fault its poor scholarship and case of Georgian scholars confusing Amirani legend with Prometheus. they are diametrically opposed archetypal heroes and are Bound to the mountain for very different crimes. I need to make a proper video on it, but constantly push it back. all and all very happy you did this video and the mistakes are completely on the available material online, I had to dig very deep to original ethnographic recordings of folktales and still ain't confident on most of these.

[@FutileFacts4u]

Oh my gosh! You’re actually my inspiration for making this video I’m so glad you found me! I did find it strange how little was available during my research and all the sites I visited kind of just regurgitated the same simple explanations and left me wanting to find out more. Even AI just spat out the same info and sometimes it was downright false upon closer inspection. Without an actual Georgian I could ask I figured I was left with bits and pieces but I’m glad I still got somewhere. Guess I should have watched more of your videos before I got too far into this so thanks for going easy on me😅 Thanks again for sharing, this is all super interesting and I’ll probably do a follow up in the future where I go into greater depth and detail about these creatures and mythology.

The timing of this one couldn't be better. About a month ago I bought John Colarusso's book "Nart Sagas From The Caucasus". I haven't read any of the work yet, but I did watch a couple of interviews with Colarusso in preparation. I have been studying Indo-European mythology for many years, and decided it was time to familiarize myself with the Nart Sagas.

[@FutileFacts4u]

Good idea, I’ve seen other channels go into the history of certain monsters over the course of past DnD editions, but not as much into the mythological roots. Would make for simple one offs or maybe even just shorts for the algorithm 🙃

The thing about daevas in Zoroastrianism is that they were gods in the old Iranian faith. Zoroastrianism was called forth by the religious founder Zarathustra, and he stated that the Iranian people are causing great wrongs by following the daevas. While in India, the asuras, what the Zoroastrians know as ahuras, are seen originally as a type of god; then, over time, they were given a negative connotation, while the devas were good and holy. The closest faiths to the old Iranian faith were the Vedic religion and the old Scythian religion, since the Scythians were an Iranian people, just ones that retained a nomadic lifestyle, like how all Indo-Iranians once were. The term devas/daevas comes ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European dyēw/dyew, meaning “to be bright” or “to shine,” and originally meant “sky” or “the heavens.” Then it became a part of Dyēus Ph2tēr. In many cases, dyēus dissolved into meaning a class of gods as a whole or just meaning the sky. As for asuras, h₂énsus or h₂n̥su- (meaning “life force” or “spirit of power”) refers not only to a type of energy that is within everything, including the gods, but was not yet personified. In the Germanic faith, it became asa, giving us Æsir. In a couple of their descendant faiths, they were merged with some gods, resulting in two classes being born in some faiths. Within the Germanic faith, those that merged with this force were the Æsir, while there was the Vanir. While the Proto-Indo-European origin of Vanir is less understood and agreed upon, the most likely origin we now believe it could relate to is the Proto-Indo-European wen, meaning “to desire” or “to love,” which became words like Latin venere (to desire), Old English wynn (joy or pleasure), and Sanskrit vān̥cati (to wish or desire). The Vanir are associated with fertility, nature, and prosperity, which aligns with the meanings of growth and abundance derived from the wen- root. As for the Celtic faith, Dáimona / Dé comes from the PIE dyēus. The Celtic meaning implies a connection to divine or celestial beings. This phrase translates to “the People of the Goddess Danu.” Tuatha derives from the PIE root teue-, meaning “to swell” or “to grow,” often associated with tribes or peoples. Danu may connect to the PIE root danu, which refers to “flow” or “river,” and Danu is often associated with fertility and water. Also, then there is Druid, coming from Proto-Indo-European dru-, meaning “oak,” which gave us the English words “durable” and “drum.” The oak was associated with many creatures across the Proto-Indo-European faiths, like the thunder gods. The -id suffix at the end of Druid is found throughout the descendant Proto-Indo-European languages and can denote a person or role. The reason the term for oak became a class of humans in the Celtic faith is that the oak, with its already sacred themes, became even more important to the Celts. The oak tree was considered sacred and symbolized strength, wisdom, and endurance. Druids, as priests and scholars, often conducted rituals and ceremonies in sacred groves of oak trees. The oak’s longevity and resilience made it a fitting symbol for the wisdom and knowledge that Druids were believed to possess. There are other Proto-Indo-European faiths I did talk about but my comment is already quit long.

Wow! Thanks for the deep dive! This is exactly what I was hoping for after my brief peek into Zoroastrian lore. I appreciate the length, no worries, it’s all fascinating to a history enjoyer like me 🤓

[@brian0902]

@@FutileFacts4u Oh yeah, about Dyēus in Germanic mythology-it became a god, but not exactly the “Sky Father.” It seems that the Sky Father split, and the father aspects became gods like Odin. The name Dyēus became associated with the god Tiwaz, whom we know in Norse mythology as Týr. However, not all of the Sky Father attributes went to Odin, as Týr is the god of heavenly judgment. When Odin is away from his throne, Týr sits on it as a kind of temporary regent, and when Týr passes judgment, only Odin can overrule it. Some believe that Loki also absorbed parts of the Sky Father role when the Germanic tribes split from their Indo-European kin upon entering Europe. Edit:Also, this is kind of the opposite in the Greco-Roman tradition, where the Sky Father absorbed the thunder god, and aspects of the thunder god were split instead.

[@shanedussault740]

Georgian castles and culture is really interesting because all of the parralelles that we see in these stories; amirani and prometheus daeva/devi and the daeva the witches you mentioned that remind you of slavic counterparts all come to georgian through cultural contact with their unrelated but omnipresent indo-european neighbours the caucasian culture groups have had more contact with those ancestral Indo europeans than any other culture group we still have access to, more than the basque and more even than the afrosemetics. some of the earliest admixture we can identify in the indo europeans is actually caucasian, which has only made their story more difficult to understand since the rise of genetics. If I had to make some sort of extraplolation, the devi would be a cultural pick up of the oldest order. Their beast like and war band like behaviour is reminiscent of the koryos, or the wolf band/warrior band/the unseen. A group of boys, possibly on a rite of passage that would dress as wolves or another pack predator animal and would raid other tribes for a time before heading home to be blooded warriors, they would do this in the name of they gods, which we all know would turn into several words that look and sound suspiciously like devi. Though I'd imagine in it's earliest forms would have more of a w sound than a v sound, more closely resembling deyus.. dewis perhaps The deva, daeva and their relation to Zoroastrian is pretty clean cut, though iirc most scholars set the split to be when the Indo Aryans split, which would be pre Scythian influence. We really arent sure why this happened at all, ahura becomes good and daeva becomes evil in the Iranian split, then deva becomes good and asura become evil in the Indian split. This though would be the cause of the "other" or "rejected" attitude towards them that the video mentioned, with the daeva becoming truly evil when Zoroastrianism reforms into itself and ahura Mazda becomes the supreme good. For amirani's relation to Prometheus I'm not really sure, I'll have to explore that, I'm not as familiar with the fire giver motif as I'd like to be, but it is very very old and does have sibling tellings all throughout the Indo European world and i believe through many other cultures as well. So far as I'm aware it's one of the motifs that either springs up independently in many places or it's just extremely old, some myths can actually be traced all the way back to the out of Africa time period by way of phylogenetics!

Daeva threw me off for a second, considering that Hindu also refers to their gods as "Devas", with a neutral alignment connotation, if memory serves me right. Or, more accurately, with the "good" half and the "evil" half often separated into separate avatars (ex. Shiva vs Kali). Perhaps with the same Iranian root word? But the idea of there being a pantheon of rejected gods has some delicious storytelling potential for a fantasy story. Gonna need to look more into that. Speaking of, yeah, do more worldbuilding stuff. With how your channel seems focused on mythology so far, maybe something on how to develop a culture's myths would be nice. Or thumbing through D&D's gods and monsters to compare and contrast with their real world mythological origins?

[@FutileFacts4u]

Yes every time I went back to look them up I’d have to sift through deva lore to avoid confusing myself. I wouldn’t be surprised considering both Hinduism and Zoroastrianism have a significant presence in India, that the term for “other gods” just kind of stuck to the Hindu gods that would not have been part of the Zoroastrian pantheon. Just a theory but regardless I do agree this idea has fantastic storytelling potential for future world building videos 🤓

4:20 This kind of reminds me of the Demon/Daimon thing in Christianity, where "Daimon" was originally a spirit or Devine power (basically spiritual being below gods with no inherit moral alignment) but over time the term was appropriated and evolved into "Demon" to describe exclusively evil being who were in direct opposition to God and exist to deceive and corrupt humans. In the framework of Christianity, any God or Devine being from any other religion is inherently inferior to god, and any worship and belief in it would be a mortal sin and clearly the result of these evil spirits corupting humanity and turning them from the one true path. I wonder if something similar might be the case for Daeva/Deva. As the term has its origins in the Indian subcontinent (which itself has its origins in the Indo-Iranian 'Daiv") its not too much of a stretch to imagine that the concept and worship of these beings might have spread to the territories of future Persia in the time right before the founding of Zoroastrianism. Given the similar "only one true god" dogma of that religion, it also not much of a stretch that the "Deva" , as heretical divinities to the new faith, might have been (for lack of a better word) demonized in the very early days of Zoroastrianism, proclaimed as "gods that are to be rejected", and over time growing ever more evil and removed from there origins until they evolved into the "Daeva" we better know today. This is just speculation on my part, but it does make a lot of sense to me, and might warren further research to see if its true or not

[@FutileFacts4u]

I’m of the same theory since it’s only natural as a religion would try to distance themselves from others that they would begin to see different beliefs as not just wrong but evil and begin to demonize them over time. Always fun to see parallels between cultures 😎

[@viktormadzov5286]

Very true. There is also a somewhat similar thing with the Jinn in Islam, as they were also often described as malevolent spirits that bring diseases and misfortunes apon humanity humanity, and the Muslim equivalent to the devil (Ibsil) himself being a Jinn. Although unlike demons and Daeva, Jinn are not inherently evil in Islam, but are being created with free will by Allah, just like humans, and can be booth good and evil in there own fashion.

10:21 I meannn Yeah that definitely is a way to say it, but if we take a more direct approach we can just safely say that Christian Mythos has a tendency to make people hate their own cultural heritage.

There’s a healthy amount of erasure that happens when one culture conquers another. I prefer to take the middle ground on these sorts of things but it can be said about any mythos that overwrites another.
