Perkūnas ((リトアニア語:Perkūnas), (ラトビア語:Pērkons), Old Prussian: ''Perkūns'', Finnish: ''Perkele'', Yotvingian: ''Parkuns'') was the common Baltic god of thunder, one of the most important deities in the Baltic pantheon. In both Lithuanian and Latvian mythology, he is documented as the god of thunder, rain, mountains, oak trees and the sky. ==Etymology== (詳細はPIE '' *'', cognate to '' *'', a word for "oak", "fir" or "wooded mountain". The Proto-Baltic name *''Perkūnas'' can be reconstructed with certainty. Slavic Perun is a related god, but not an etymologically precise match. The names ''Fjörgynn'' as a name for Odin, and ''Fjörgyn'', mother of Thor, have been proposed as cognates. Finnish Perkele, a name of Ukko, is considered a loan from Baltic. Another connection is that of ''terpikeranous'', an epithet of Zeus meaning "''who enjoys lightning''". The name survives in Modern Baltic as Lithuanian ''perkūnas'' ("thunder"), ''perkūnija'' ("thunder-storm"), and the Latvian ''pērkons'' ("thunder"), "pērkona negaiss" ("thunderstorm" or "Pērkons' storm"). Alternative names in Latvian are Pērkoniņš (diminutive), Pērkonītis (diminutive), Pērkona tēvs (direct translation would be Father of Thunder but it might be interpreted as God of Thunder instead), Vecais tēvs (Old father). 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「Perkūnas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
