The Religions of India

CHAPTER VIII
8/29

Bhaga is Slavic Bogu and Persian Bagha; Mitra is Persian Mithra.

The Acvins are all but in name the Greek gods Dioskouroi, and correspond closely in detail (riding on horses, healing and helping, originally twins of twilight).

Tacitus gives a parallel Teutonic pair (Germ.

43).

Ushas, on the other hand, while etymologically corresponding to Aurora, Eos, is a specially Indian development, as Eos has no cult.
