    The Divine

    Every tradition in the corpus peoples the world with gods — and the atlas keeps their identities strict. Zeus is not Jupiter; neither is the God of the Psalms; the Devas are not the Olympians. What they share is the class: here are the divine of twenty-five centuries, side by side, each anchored to the passages that name them.
