About This Tool

Lithuanian mythology has no first-hand historical data to back up its claims. The documents we see of the Lithuanian mythology were written by missionaries after the 15th century. Like the Aztec myths, the goal of the chronicler was to “criticize paganism” rather than to systematize the myths. The Lithuanian mythology also had the help of folk songs, poems, and legends, which were hard to spread among the people. Many Lithuanian deities, such as death, evolved into “demons” during the Christianization period. And the most important God, “Divas, ” became a nickname for the Christian apostles.

For Lithuanian mythological figures, this random tool generated a huge number of 210 items. And that includes Ašvienia, Pajauta, Kupolė, Upinis, etc.
