Fear that it will also lead to Crop Failure, and therefore Famine, and Tamriel wide hunger could also be factors that prevent him from getting persecuted like a Daedra, or like Lorkhan followers, Trinimac followers, Dibella followers, or Talos followers in the 4E by the Thalmor. Think about it, if Zenithar is demanding child sacrifice, with him being an Aedra/Divine on top of that, he cannot be treated like a Daedra, because he is not a Daedra, so no Holy Orders are allowed to legally persecute him, or hunt his followers down. So many Colovians, and westerners don't like him as much as the other Divines. If he is indeed based off of Saturn/Cronus/Baal, this could mean that part of his worship actually demands child sacrifice. If Zenithar is the god of agriculture, that must mean he is charged of bring rain to the crops, and fertilizing the crops. Who demanded child sacrifice in exchange for a good harvest. And is often syncretized with the Semitic god Baal. Meanwhile the Roman god Saturn was the god of Agriculture. Fearing that one of his children would overthrow him like how he did Uranus, he proceeded to eat his own children birthed by Gaia. If Akatosh is Jupiter/Zeus, could Zenithar actually be Cronus/Saturn?Ĭronus as you know was overthrown by his son Zeus. I have a theory as to why Zenithar is not spoken of much.Įach of the Nine Divines is based off of the Greek gods, and Roman gods of the real world. But despite all these names, aspects, interpretations, and his role as a "warrior god" and god of merchants, labor, and agriculture, he is not talked about very much like the other Divines. Apparently, the Kothringi also called him by Z'en and they got him from Akaviri foreigners, because he is worshipped in Akavir as well. To the Bosmer he is known Z'en, to others Xen.
