overview of mythology in the Estonian culture

Lithuanian Dievas, Latvian Dievs and Debestēvs ("Sky-Father"), Latgalian Dīvs, Old Prussian Diews, and Yotvingian Deivas was the primordial supreme god in Baltic mythology, and one of the most important deities, together with Perkūnas and the brother of Potrimpo. He was the god of light, the sky, prosperity, wealth, the ruler of gods, and the creator of the universe. Dievas is a direct successor of the Proto-Indo-European supreme sky father god *Dyēus of the root *deiwo-. Its Proto-Baltic form was *Deivas.

He was one of the three main gods worshiped by the Old Prussians. Most of what is known about this god is derived from unreliable 16th-century sources.

Peckols and Patollo, (in Lithuanian, Pikulas arba Pikuolis (Pocols, Pecols, Picullus, Pykullas) usually identified with Patulu (Patollo, Patollum, Patolli, Patolen)) were gods in the pagan Prussian mythology who were worshiped by the Old Prussians. Most researchers believe that, despite varying names, Peckols and Patollo were probably the same god in charge of the underworld and the dead. It is usually described as an angry, evil spirit similar to the Lithuanian Velnias.
