Illyrian gods
↳ Illyrians never functioned as a unique ethnic entity. Rather, each tribe had their own set of gods which explains a lack of a clearly set pantheon. Some gods were more widely spread - like Medaurus, Bindus, Vidasus and were worshipped by more than one tribe.
↪Liburnians believed in gods that weren’t mentioned elsewhere in the Illyrian region:
Ika (goddess of water and olives)
Sentona (goddess of fertility, agriculture and health)
Latra (also known as Great Mother, goddess of love and fertility)
Anzotika (goddess of love, motherhood, fertility, guides souls to underworld)
Aitika (goddess of agriculture, plants)
Heija (goddess of lands, justice, animals and female sexuality)
Irija (Creator Mother)
Jutosika (unknown)
↪Colapiani mainly worshipped Vidasus and Tana (protectors of forests, grasslands, wild animals and water springs) (Vidasus is the god of forests, Tana is the goddess of hunt)
↪Iapodes mainly whorshipped Bindus (god of water)
↪Histri worshipped:
Eja (goddess of fertility and love)
Trita (goddess of health)
Nebrama (goddess of darkness, fog, spells, storms)
Boria (goddess of wind)
Histrija (goddess of peace, protector of Histria)
↪Dardani worshipped:
Andin (god of family and home's fireplace)
Dardanija (personification of Dardan land)
Zbeltiurdus (supreme god)
Divine Couple Dracco and Draccena (snake gods)
Ata (personification of a house spirit which protects the home, often a fallen warrior)
Mundrit (unknown)
Taton (unknown, possibly protector of warriors and god of water)
↪Paenians worshipped Dualos, god of wine.
↪Almost all Illyrians worshipped Medaur (god of war, medicine and health), Sedat (god of mining, protector of craftsmen) was worshipped by most tribes as well.
Since Illyrians didn’t leave traces of literacy, most information about their religion was written by Romans. Romans saw characteristics of their own gods in the Illyrian ones and therefore gave them romanized names. Such examples are Silvan and Diana. Some Illyrians also started calling their gods with a Roman name so Bindus was called Neptune and Anzotika was called Venus.
Other gods which aren't tribe specific or gods with little to no information: En (fire), Perendi (thunder), Prende (love), Liber (wine), Nautrika (children), Armatus (war), Aecorna (lakes), Laburus (sailing), Redon (travel).
**I will update this list regularly, there is a lot of information that is still to be uncovered.
