In literature [ edit ]

The 💪 Hindu God Indra was the chief deity and at his prime during the Vedic period, where he was considered to 💪 be the supreme God.[24][25] Indra was initially recorded in the Rigveda, the first of the religious scriptures that comprise the 💪 Vedas.[26] Indra continued to play a prominent role throughout the evolution of Hinduism and played a pivotal role in the 💪 two Sanskrit epics that comprise the Itihasas, appearing in both the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Although the importance of Indra has 💪 since been subsided in favor of other Gods in contemporary Hinduism, he is still venerated and worshipped.

In Greek mythology, the 💪 Elysian Fields, or the Elysian Plains, was the final resting places of the souls of the heroic and the virtuous, 💪 evolved from a designation of a place or person struck by lightning, enelysion, enelysios.[27] This could be a reference to 💪 Zeus, the god of lightning, so "lightning-struck" could be saying that the person was blessed (struck) by Zeus (/lightning/fortune). Egyptologist 💪 Jan Assmann has also suggested that Greek Elysion may have instead been derived from the Egyptian term ialu (older iaru), 💪 meaning "reeds," with specific reference to the "Reed fields" (Egyptian: sekhet iaru / ialu), a paradisiacal land of plenty where 💪 the dead hoped to spend eternity.[28]
