Stories of Forgotten Gods

For tonight's bedtime story, let's explore the stories of various gods from Antiquity that once were very relevant to the societies that worshipped them, before mostly disappearing from memories: • Sol Invictus, the sun god of the Romans that was propelled from obscure cult to imperial religion in the Third Century AD. • Mithra, an Iranian deity borrowed from Zoroastrianism by several foreign peoples, especially the Romans, who reinvented this cult completely. • Inanna/Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of love, procreation, political power and war who was worshipped for thousands of years by various Mesopotamian civilizations and whose influence reached the Mediterranean. • Pazuzu, the demon god of southwestern winds of the Babylonians.
