Forgotten Gods of the Ancient World

For tonight's bedtime story, let's explore the stories of various gods from Antiquity that once were very relevant to the societies that worshipped them, before mostly disappearing from memories: - Sol Invictus, the sun god of the Romans that was propelled from obscure cult to imperial religion in the Third Century AD; - Mithra, an Iranian deity borrowed from Zoroastrianism by the Romans, who reinvented this cult into a mystery religion; - Inanna/Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of love, procreation, political power, and war; - Pazuzu, the demon god of southwestern winds of the Babylonians, and a popular domestic spirit; - Aten, the sun disk, that pharaoh Ahmenotep IV/Akhenaten tried to impose as the new supreme god of Egypt.
