About Gods & Myths

Gods & Myths is the mythology journal of the Pantheon app — an encyclopedia of world mythology covering eight pantheons. Every article follows the same editorial policy:

Editorial policy

Ancient sources first. Every myth names where it comes from — the Eddas, Hesiod, the Pyramid Texts, not “some say.”
Version differences are the point. When Hesiod and Homer disagree, or Saxo rewrites an Edda story, we say so. Rivals smooth this over; it is our sharpest edge.
No invented lore. If a detail is uncertain, it is cut — never padded, never guessed.
Living traditions with respect. Hindu mythology and other living faiths are covered as belief, not curiosity.
No copied text. Everything here is written fresh for this site.
