A pantheon (from Greek πάνθεον ''pantheon'', literally "(a temple) of all gods", "of or common to all gods" from πᾶν ''pan-'' "all" and θεός ''theos'' "god") is the particular set of all gods of any polytheistic religion, mythology, or tradition: Max Weber's 1922 opus ''Economy and Society'' discusses the link between a pantheon of gods and the development of monotheism. ''Pantheon'' can also refer to a temple or sacred building explicitly dedicated to "all deities", avoiding the difficulty of giving an exhaustive list. The most known such structure is the Pantheon of Rome, first built between the years 27 BCE and 14 CE. The building standing today was constructed on the same site around 126 CE. It was dedicated to "all gods" as a gesture embracing the religious syncretism in the increasingly multicultural Roman Empire, with subjects worshipping gods from many cultures and traditions. The building was later renovated for use as a Christian church in 609 under Pope Boniface IV. Since the 16th century, "pantheon" can also refer in a secular sense to the set of a society's exalted persons.〔This practice is hinted at in previous references; for example, Jove of the proto-Indo-European pantheon (whose other linguistic forms are "deus" and "divus") meant 'god, rich man'. Today the word "pantheon" 'of or for the gods' is reflected in the journalistic meme that refers to financial titans as "Masters of the Universe".〕 For example: Francis Ford Coppola has been described as "a San Francisco-based film-maker of scope and ambition whose place in that revered pantheon of independent movie directors, which broke the standard Hollywood studio mould as the 1960s expired, is secure".〔Simon Warner, ''Text and Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll: The Beats and Rock Culture'' (2013), p. 452.〕 ==See also== Specific pantheons of deities * African pantheons * Armenian pantheon * Aztec pantheon * Berber pantheon * Canaanite pantheon * Celtic pantheon * Chinese pantheon * Divine Council * Egyptian pantheon * Germanic pantheon * Greek pantheon * Guanche pantheon * Hindu pantheon * Incan Pantheon * Japanese pantheon * Japanese Buddhist pantheon * Mayan pantheon * Native American pantheons * Norse pantheon * Rigvedic pantheon * Roman pantheon * Slavic pantheon * Sumerian pantheon 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pantheon (religion)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
