Antalian Immortals

by Marco Dalmonte

Now I'm going with the idea that in the beginning a few immortals covered all of the deities portfolio and identities, and later Odin let other immortals into his cult to broaden his alliances and better fill each role.

This is the original composition of the Antalian cult (ca. BC 1800):

AESIR
Odin (himself)
Lodhur (Ixion)
Heimdall (Ixion)
Thor (himself)
Tyr (Thor)
Balder (Pax)
Forseti (Pax)
Loki (himself)
Hod (Loki)
Vidar (Razud)
Bragi (Guidarezzo)
Hermod (Asterius or Sinbad)

ASINYE
Frigg (Terra)
Sif (Terra)
Sjofn (Valerias)
Lofn (Valerias)

Magni - Thor's son stronger than his father (Bemarris)
Tiuz (the ljosalfars' King: Ilsundal)
Modsognir (the dwarves' king: Kagyar)

I have decided to omit the fact that Loki should be married to Sigyn because it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find a goddess to fill that role (she should be married to a liar, faithful, kind and patroness of sacrifice! Where do I find one like this??) and to use Syn instead in her place (the guardian of Frigg's hall) identified with Petra.

I have also revised my idea that Heimdall and Surt should exist as two new immortals: instead now I think it's better to incorporate them into some known immortals, and specifically Zugzul for Surt (they're so similar to look like twins) and Mealiden or Saimpt Matin for Heimdall (again they've got same portfolio and Matin and Heimdall same domains too, while Mealiden and Heimdall have got the same symbol, the rainbow..).
