for a lot of things like the sun, sky, earth, oceans, plants, weather, seasons, war, and peace.

They were all worshiped by people all over the earth. The gods normally lived in peace with

each other but sometimes they would not agree on things. One day some the gods were

arguing over who was more important. The god of the sun said he was the most important god

because he kept plants growing and the earth warm. The god of the oceans said he was

important because of the water and food in the ocean. The god of the earth said he was most

important because people could not live without him.
