'''Svarog'''{{Efn|[[Old East Slavic]]: Сваро́гъ<br/>[[Russian language|Russian]]: Сварог {{IPA|ru|svɐˈrok|}})}} is a Slavic god who may be associated with [[fire]] and [[blacksmith]]ing and who was once interpreted as a [[sky god]] on the basis of an etymology rejected by modern scholarship. He is mentioned in only one source, the ''[[Primary Chronicle]]'', which is problematic in interpretation. He is presented there as the Slavic equivalent of the Greek god [[Hephaestus]]. The meaning of his name is associated with fire. He is the father of [[Dazhbog]] and [[Svarozhits]].
