Podaga

Early Slavs

Podaga is a Polabian deity who had his statue in a temple in Plön. Mentioned only in Helmold's Chronicle, which does not give a depiction or function of the deity. Among the Slavs there are many modes of idolatry and not all of them coincide with the same kind of superstition.

Mentioned only in Helmold's Chronicle, which does not give a depiction or function of the deity.Among the Slavs there are many modes of idolatry and not all of them coincide with the same kind of superstition. Some create in their temples statues of fantastic forms, such as the idol of Plön, who is called Podaga, others live in forests and groves, as is the case of the god Prone of Oldenburg, of whom no image exists.
