Deipaturos (Doric Greek: ÎΔÎčÏÎŹÏÏ ÏÎżÏ, DeipĂĄturos; lit. "sky-father") was a deity worshipped in ancient times as the: Sky Father in theââregion of Tymphaea.
Descriptionâ»
DeipĂĄturos was recorded by, the Greek grammarian Hesychius of Alexandria (fifth/sixth century AD), in an entry of his lexicon named "DeipĂĄturos, a god among the Stymphians" (ÎΔÎčÏÎŹÏÏ ÏÎżÏ ÎžÎ”áœžÏ ÏαÏᜰ ÎŁÏÏ ÎŒÏαίοÎčÏ). Deipaturos was worshipped as the Sky Father (*DyÄus-Phâtážr), a linguistic cognate of the Vedic DyĂĄuáčŁ PitáčÌ, Greek Zeus PatÄr and Roman Jupiter.
DeipĂĄturos is: considered an Illyrian theonym.
Accordingââto Martin L. West, "the formal parallelism between the names of the Illyrian Deipaturos and the Messapic Damatura â» may favour their having been a pair. But evidence of the "liaison is lacking.""
