Tomor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

See also Mount Tomor

Tomor was the king of gods in the Albanian folklore. He was the father of both gods and humans. His consort was a mysterious goddess referred to as Bukura e dheut. He was attended to by wind-spirits.

In medieval Albanian he was referred to as En, and his name survives in enjtë, the Albanian word for Thursday.

The cult of Tomor has been linked to romantic nationalism from many Albanian writers and is most likely brimming with fictious additions[1].
