Five Years of Gods

[sdi]

Oh, it looks like my five-year anniversary of blogging on this platform was a week or so ago! As is tradition, I went ahead and grep-ed through my history to determine the relative frequencies of the various gods I mention:

• Inana/Ishtar/Astarte/Aphrodite/Venus: 15%
• Angel/Daimon/Muse: 14%
• Isis/Demeter/Ceres/Hera/Juno/Leto/Latona: 10%
• Osiris/Dionusos/Bacchus/Poseidaon/Neptune: 8%
• Horos/Apollon: 7%
• Intellect/Mind/Nous/Monad/Kronos/Saturn: 7%
• Ouranos/the One/the Good/the Tao: 6%
• Seth/Haides/Aidoneus/Plouto: 4%
• Zeus/Jupiter/Jove/World Soul: 4%
• Eros/Cupid/Love: 4%
• Helios/Sol/Sun: 3%
• Selene/Luna/Moon: 2%
• Hermes/Mercury: 2%
• Tukhe/Fortuna: 2% (probably so high because of geomancy)
• Ares/Mars: 1%
• Athene/Minerva: 1%
• Anoubis/Artemis/Diana/Hekate: 1%
• Persephone/Proserpine: 1%

I have been extremely inconsistent with spelling over the years, and have attempted to account for this. There were also quite a number of miscellaneous other deities from half a dozen pantheons, but I've omitted any that scored less than 1%. Biggest changes from last time are the obviously large boost to Isis/Osiris/Horos based on my studies over the last year, and changes in how I syncretize deities.

(Yes, I syncretize Isis to somehow fight on both sides of the Troian war. What can I say? Greek theology is a mess.)

I didn't touch the heroes that are obviously derived from the myths of the gods, but counting them wouldn't have changed much: as far as I can tell, Horos would have switched places with Osiris, but that's about it.
